PART I
Item 1. Business.
     Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Management’s Discussion and Analysis, which appears on pages 25-40; Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which appears on pages 46-48; Note 2, Acquisitions, which appears on pages 48-50; and Note 11, Segment Information, which appears on pages 60-61 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
     The Procter & Gamble Company is focused on providing branded products of superior quality and value to improve the lives of the world’s consumers. The Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1905, having been built from a business founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. Today, we market over 300 branded products in more than 160 countries. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “P&G,” “we,” “our” or “us” as used herein refers to The Procter & Gamble Company (the registrant) and its subsidiaries.
     The markets in which our products are sold are highly competitive. Our products compete against similar products of many large and small companies, including well-known global competitors. We market our products with advertising, promotions and other vehicles to build awareness of our brands in conjunction with an extensive sales force. We believe this combination provides the most efficient method of marketing for these types of products. Product quality, performance, value and packaging are also important competitive factors.
     Throughout this Form 10-K, we incorporate by reference information from other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
     The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K are filed electronically with the SEC. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains these reports at: http://www.sec.gov. You can also access these reports through links from our website at: www.pg.com/investors/sectionmain.jhtml.
     Copies of these reports are also available, without charge, by contacting The Procter & Gamble Company, Shareholder Services Department, P.O. Box 5572, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201-5572.
Financial Information About Segments
     The Company is organized into three Global Business Units: P&G Beauty; P&G Family Health; and P&G Household Care. We have five reportable segments under U.S. GAAP: P&G Beauty; Health Care; Baby Care and Family Care; Fabric Care and Home Care; and Snacks and Coffee. None of these businesses is highly seasonal. Many of the factors necessary for an understanding of these businesses are similar. Operating margins of the individual businesses vary slightly due to nature of the materials and processes used to manufacture the products, the capital intensity of the businesses and differences in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. Net sales growth by business is also expected to vary slightly due to the underlying growth of the markets of each business and products. For example, we expect our P&G Beauty business to provide a disproportionate percentage of overall net sales growth, as the market for these products is expected to grow at a higher rate than the remaining businesses.

Table of Contents

     Additional information about our businesses, including a discussion of competitive conditions, can be found in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, pages 27-28, and Note 11, Segment Information, which appears on pages 60-61 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
     Effective July 1, 2004, we realigned some of our business units and associated management responsibilities. Concurrent with this change, we made adjustments to the measures used to evaluate the performance of senior management. The most significant of these adjustments was the amortization expense of identifiable intangible assets with determinable lives, which is now included in business results rather than held in Corporate. While these changes had no impact on total Company results, historical business results for all periods presented were conformed for these changes.
Narrative Description of Business
     Business Model. Our business model relies on the continued growth and success of existing brands and products, as well as the creation of new products. The markets and industry segments in which we offer our products are highly competitive. Our products are sold in over 160 countries around the world primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores and drug stores. We have also expanded our presence in “high-frequency stores,” the neighborhood stores which serve many consumers in developing markets. We work collaboratively with our customers to improve the in-store presence of our products and win the “first moment of truth” — when a consumer is shopping in the store. We must also win the “second moment of truth” — when a consumer uses the product, evaluates how well it met his or her expectations and whether it was a good value. We believe we must continue to provide new, innovative products and branding to the consumer in order to grow our business. Research and product development activities, designed to enable sustained organic growth, continued to carry a high priority during the past fiscal year. While many of the benefits from these efforts will not be realized until future years, we believe these activities demonstrate our commitment to future growth.
     Key Product Categories. We currently have three product categories that each account for 10% or more of consolidated net sales. The laundry category constitutes approximately 17% of net sales for fiscal year 2005, compared to 18% of net sales for fiscal year 2004 and 19% in 2003. The diaper category represents approximately 11% of net sales in 2005, compared to 11% in 2004 and 12% in 2003. The retail hair care category accounts for approximately 10% of fiscal year 2005 net sales compared to 11% of fiscal year 2004 net sales and 9% in 2003.
     Key Customers. Our customers include mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores and high-frequency stores. Sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates represent approximately 16% of our total revenue, compared to 17% in 2004 and 18% in 2003. No other customer represents more than 10% of our net sales. Our top ten customers account for approximately 32% of total unit volume, which is comparable with 2004 and 2003. The nature of our business results in no material backlog orders or contracts with the government. We believe our practices related to working capital items for customers and suppliers are consistent with the industry segments in which we compete.

     Sources and Availability of Materials. Almost all of the raw and packaging materials used by the Company are purchased from others, some of whom are single-source suppliers. We produce raw materials, primarily chemicals, for further use in the manufacturing process. In addition, fuel and natural gas are important commodities used in our plants and in the trucks used to deliver our products to customers. The prices we pay for materials and other commodities are subject to fluctuation. For example, the price of oil was up approximately 45% in 2005 compared to the prior year. The cost of many of the resins used in our raw and packaging materials increased about 20%. We also had increases in pulp and chemical costs. When prices for these items change, we may or may not pass on the change to our customers, depending on the magnitude and expected duration of the change. In 2005, we increased prices in some categories, including Family Care, Pet Health and Nutrition, Coffee and certain Fabric Care markets to recover increases in commodity costs. The Company purchases a substantial variety of raw and packaging materials, no one of which is material to our business taken as a whole.
     Trademarks and Patents. We own or have licenses under patents and registered trademarks which are used in connection with our activity in all businesses. Some of these patents or licenses cover significant product formulation and processes used to manufacture our products. The trademarks of all major products in each business are registered. In part, our success can be attributed to the existence and continued protection of these trademarks, patents and licenses.
     Expenditures for Environmental Compliance. Expenditures for compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations are fairly consistent from year to year and are not material to the Company. No material change is expected in fiscal year 2006.
     Employees. The Company has approximately 110,000 employees.
Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
     Net sales in the United States account for approximately 45% of total net sales. No other individual country had net sales exceeding 10% of total net sales. Operations outside the United States are generally characterized by the same conditions discussed in the description of the business above and may also be affected by additional factors including changing currency values, different rates of inflation, economic growth and political and economic uncertainties and disruptions. Our sales by geography for the fiscal years ended June 30 were as follows:
                         
    2005   2004   2003
North America
    48 %     50 %     54 %
Western Europe
    24 %     24 %     21 %
Northeast Asia
    5 %     5 %     5 %
Developing Markets
    23 %     21 %     20 %
     Developing markets include Latin America, Central & Eastern Europe/Middle East and Africa, Greater China, and ASEAN/Australasia/India.

Development of the Business
     The discussion below provides insight to the general development of our business, including the material acquisitions and disposition of assets over the past five years.
     Gillette Acquistion. On January 27, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire The Gillette Company. The agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors and the shareholders of both companies, provides for a stock-for-stock exchange in which 0.975 shares of The Procter & Gamble Company common stock will be issued and exchanged, on a tax-free basis, for each share of The Gillette Company. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total consideration would be approximately $54 billion, determined using the average Company stock prices beginning two days before and ending two days after January 28, 2005, the date the acquisition was announced.
     The Gillette Company is the world leader in the male grooming category that includes blades, razors and shaving preparations, and in selected female grooming products. Gillette also holds the number one position worldwide in alkaline batteries and toothbrushes. Total sales for Gillette during its most recent year ended December 31, 2004 were $10.5 billion.
     The acquisition is subject to approval by US and non-U.S. regulatory authorities. We believe that the transaction will close in Fall 2005.
     Juice divestiture. In August 2004 the Company completed the divestiture of its Juice business.
     Wella Acquisition. In March 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Wella from the majority shareholders. In September 2003, we completed this purchase of the shares of Wella for EUR 3.16 billion (approximately $3.42 billion based on exchange rates on that date). Additionally, in September 2003, we purchased shares secured through a tender offer to remaining shareholders for EUR 1.49 billion (approximately $1.67 billion based on exchange rates on that date). As a result of these purchases, the Company acquired approximately 81% of the outstanding Wella shares (99% of the voting class shares and 45% of the preference shares).
     In June 2004, the Company and Wella entered into a Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement (the Domination Agreement). Under the Domination Agreement, we are entitled to exercise full operating control and receive 100% of the future earnings of Wella. As consideration for the Domination Agreement, we will pay the remaining shareholders of Wella a guaranteed annual dividend payment. Alternatively, the remaining Wella shareholders may elect to tender their shares to the Company for an agreed price. The fair value of the total guaranteed annual dividend payments was $1.11 billion, which is the approximate cost if all remaining shares were tendered.

     The acquisition of Wella was financed by a mixture of available cash balances and debt. Wella is a leading beauty care company selling its products in more than 150 countries, focused on professional hair care, retail hair care and cosmetics and fragrances.
     Hutchison Acquisition. In June 2004, we purchased the remaining 20% stake of our China venture from our partner, Hutchison Whampoa China Ltd. (Hutchison), giving us full ownership of our operations in China. The net purchase price was $1.85 billion, which is the purchase price of $2.00 billion net of minority interest and certain obligations that were eliminated as a result of the transaction. The acquisition was funded by debt.
     Jif/Crisco Spin-Off. During May 2002, we completed the spin-off of the Jif peanut butter and Crisco shortening brands to the Company’s shareholders and their subsequent merger into The J.M. Smucker Company.
     Clairol Acquisition. In November 2001, we completed the acquisition of the Clairol business from The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
     Restructuring Program. In 1999, we announced our intention to transition from our previous geographic-based structure to a product-based global business unit structure. Concurrent with that change, we initiated a multi-year Organization 2005 Restructuring Program. The program was designed to accelerate growth and deliver cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes and discontinuing under-performing businesses and initiatives. This restructuring program was substantially complete by the end of 2003. From the program’s inception through the end of 2003, we incurred charges of $4.85 billion before tax ($3.79 billion after tax) for employee separation costs, asset write-downs, accelerated depreciation and other costs directly related to the restructuring effort.
Item 2. Properties.
     In the United States, we own and operate 33 manufacturing facilities located in 21 different states. In addition, we own and operate 91 manufacturing facilities in 42 other countries. Many of the domestic and international facilities produce products for multiple businesses. P&G Beauty products are manufactured at 53 of these locations; Fabric Care and Home Care products at 42; Baby Care and Family Care products at 32; Health Care products at 27; and Snacks and Coffee products at 6. Management believes that the Company’s production facilities are adequate to support the business efficiently and that the properties and equipment have been well maintained.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
     We are involved in clean-up efforts at off-site Superfund locations, many of which are in the preliminary stages of investigation. The amount accrued at the end of June 30, 2005, representing probable future costs that can be reasonably estimated, was $7 million.
     We are also involved in certain other environmental proceedings. No such proceeding is expected to result in material monetary or other sanctions being imposed by any governmental entity, or in other material liabilities.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
     At a special meeting of shareholders held on July 12, 2005, the following actions were taken:
     A proposal by the Board of Directors to adopt the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of January 27, 2005, among The Procter & Gamble Company, Aquarium Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, and The Gillette Company, and approve the issuance of Procter & Gamble Common Stock in the merger. The shareholders cast 1,885,874,704 (71.68% of the issued and outstanding shares, which is the equivalent of 96.36% of votes cast) votes in favor of this proposal and 47,304,669 votes against. There were 23,884,959 abstentions.
     A proposal by the Board of Directors to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement and approve the issuance of Procter & Gamble Common Stock in the merger. The shareholders cast 1,530,618,440 votes in favor of this proposal and 340,870,568 votes against. There were 85,575,324 abstentions.
     Although these actions occurred following the fourth quarter, the Company is voluntarily including this information here because the vote was of significant interest to shareholders.

Table of Contents

     The Company has made certain forward-looking statements in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and in other contexts relating to volume and net sales growth, increases in market shares, financial goals and cost reduction, among others.
     These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates regarding competitive activity, pricing, product introductions, economic conditions, customer and consumer trends, technological innovation, currency movements, governmental action and the development of certain markets available at the time the statements are made. Among the key factors that could impact results and must be managed by the Company are:
  (1)   the ability to achieve business plans, including with respect to lower income consumers and growing existing sales and volume profitably despite high levels of competitive activity, especially with respect to the product categories and geographical markets (including developing markets) in which the Company has chosen to focus;
 
  (2)   the ability to successfully execute, manage and integrate key acquisitions and mergers, including (i) the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement with Wella, and (ii) the Company’s agreement to merge with The Gillette Company, including obtaining the related required regulatory approvals;

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
     The Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive, A.G. Lafley, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Clayton C. Daley, Jr., have evaluated the Company’s internal control and disclosure control systems as of the end of the period covered by this report.
     Messrs. Lafley and Daley have concluded that the Company’s disclosure control systems are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the Company can meet its disclosure obligations. The Company’s disclosure control system is based upon a global chain of financial, staff and general business reporting lines that converge in the worldwide headquarters of the Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. The reporting process is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits with the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Consistent with the SEC’s suggestion, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee consisting of key Company personnel designed to review the accuracy and completeness of all disclosures made by the Company.
     In connection with the evaluation described above, no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
     Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm are incorporated by reference to page 23 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

The Procter & Gamble 1992 Stock Plan (Belgian Version)
     Effective February 14, 1997, the Company’s Board of Directors approved The Procter & Gamble 1992 Stock Plan (Belgian Version). Although the plan has not been submitted to shareholders for approval, the plan is nearly identical to The Procter & Gamble 1992 Stock Plan, approved by the Company’s shareholders on October 13, 1992, except for a few minor changes designed to comply with the Belgian tax laws. Although no further grants can be made under the plan, unexercised stock options previously granted under this plan remain outstanding.
     The plan is a stock incentive plan designed to attract, retain and motivate key Belgian employees. Under the plan, eligible participants may be granted or offered the right to purchase stock options, may be granted stock appreciation rights and/or may be granted shares of the Company’s common stock. Except in the case of death of the recipient, all stock options and stock appreciation rights must vest in no less than one year from the date of grant and must expire no later than fifteen years from the date of grant. The exercise price for all stock options granted under the plan is the average price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. If a recipient of a grant leaves the Company while holding an unexercised option or right, any unexercisable portions immediately become void, except in the case of death, and any exercisable portions become void within one month of departure, except in the case of death or retirement. Any common stock awarded under the plan may be subject to restrictions on sale or transfer while the recipient is employed, as the committee administering the plan may determine.
The Procter & Gamble Future Shares Plan
     On October 14, 1997, the Company’s Board of Directors approved The Procter & Gamble Future Shares Plan pursuant to which options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to employees worldwide. The purpose of this plan is to advance the interests of the Company by giving substantially all employees a stake in the Company’s future growth and success and to strengthen the alignment of interests between employees and the Company’s shareholders through increased ownership of shares of the Company’s stock. The plan has not been submitted to shareholders for approval.
     Subject to adjustment for changes in the Company’s capitalization, the number of shares to be granted under the plan is not to exceed 17 million shares. Under the plan’s regulations, recipients are granted options to acquire 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the average price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. These options vest five years after the date of grant and expire ten years following the date of grant. If a recipient leaves the employ of the Company prior to the vesting date for a reason other than disability, retirement or special separation (as defined in the plan), then the award is forfeited.
     At the time of the first grant following approval of the plan, each employee of the Company not eligible for an award under the 1992 Stock Plan was granted options for 100 shares. Since the date of the first grant, each new employee of the Company has also received options for 100 shares. Following the grant of options on June 30, 2003, the Company suspended this part of the plan and intends to make no further grants under this part of the plan.
     In addition to the grants above, annual grants of options for 100 shares are granted to approximately 2,000 employees who are not eligible for participation in the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan in recognition of outstanding performance.

EX-10.4 2 l15436aexv10w4.txt EXHIBIT 10.4 Exhibit (10.4) December 14, 2004 ADDITIONAL REMUNERATION PLAN THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY RESOLVED, That the following plan for additional remuneration of the Chairman of the Board and such other officers and employees of The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiary companies who, in the opinion of the Chief Executive, are largely responsible for the success and development of the business, be and the same is hereby adopted providing for additions to their compensation in relation to the consolidated profit of the Company for the fiscal year and the contribution by those persons to the operation of the Company. Such additional remuneration may be paid in recognition of the contribution of such persons during that year, and/or their contribution to earnings growth over the current and prior years. Credits to a fund established for this purpose are to be based upon a percentage of the annual consolidated profit of the companies. 1. Each fiscal year there shall be set aside in an additional remuneration fund an amount equal to five percent of the consolidated profit before providing for foreign and United States Federal Income Taxes, based on income of The Procter & Gamble Company and its subsidiary companies included in its Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss for such fiscal year, conditional upon there being left for consolidated net profit an amount at least equal to the sum of the dividends on the outstanding Preferred Stock of The Procter & Gamble Company, plus the sum of the dividends on the outstanding Common Stock of The Procter & Gamble Company for said fiscal year, prior deductions having been provided for of the full amount of the contributions to the Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan; provided, however, that if at the end of any fiscal year the full amount equal to said five percent cannot be set aside on account of the condition above stated, then the amount to be set aside shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet said condition. Unawarded balances in any year shall remain in said fund and be available in later years; provided, however, that this Board reserves the right to withdraw from said fund any unawarded balances or part thereof remaining after the award at the end of any fiscal year. 2. For each fiscal year the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall determine the method of payment and the amount of the additional remuneration to be awarded from said fund to each principal officer elected by the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive shall determine which other persons are to receive additional remuneration out of said fund and the method of payment and the amount to be awarded to each. 3. Awards may be made by the Chief Executive to any employee, including principal officers elected by the Board of Directors except the Chairman of the Board, upon the termination of their employment or the granting of a leave of absence. The Chief Executive may delegate to an appropriate Vice President the authority to make such awards to persons who are not principal officers. 4. The consolidated profit and the consolidated net profit of The Procter & Gamble Company and the subsidiary companies consolidated for each year shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting and approved by the independent certified public accountants selected by this Board, and no person who may, at any time, be selected to share in the fund provided for in paragraph 1 above shall have any right to question the consolidated profit or the consolidated net profit so determined. 5. While the amount received by any one individual for any year under this resolution shall be considered as earned remuneration in addition to salary paid, it shall be understood that this plan does not give to any officer or employee any contract rights, express or implied, against any Company for any award from the Fund or for compensation in addition to the salary paid to him, or any right to question the action of the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee or the Chief Executive. 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) in any fiscal year, an additional remuneration fund shall be set aside and additional remuneration awards shall be made for the period from the beginning of the fiscal year in which a Change in Control occurred up to and including the date of such Change in Control ("CIC Period") pursuant to this Plan, substituting "CIC Period" for "fiscal year." If financial statements specified in paragraphs 1 and r are not available for the CIC Period, the Compensation Committee shall determine the amount of additional remuneration awarded from the fund in good faith. "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (a) An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the "Voting Securities") by any "Person" (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately after which such Person has "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to this Section 6(a), Shares or Voting Securities which are acquired in a "Non-Control Acquisition" (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A "Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a "Related Entity"), (ii) the Company or any Related Entity, or (iii) any Person in connection with a "Non-Control Transaction" (as hereinafter defined); (b) The individuals who, as of July 11, 2000 are members of the Board (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute at least half of the members of the Board; or, following a Merger (as hereinafter defined) which results in a Parent Corporation (as hereinafter defined), the board of directors of the ultimate Parent Corporation; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company's common stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or (c) The consummation of: (i) A merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued (a "Merger"), unless such Merger is a "Non-Control Transaction." A "Non-Control Transaction" shall mean a Merger where: (A) the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such Merger own directly or indirectly immediately following such Merger at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (x) the corporation resulting from such Merger (the "Surviving Corporation") if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly by another Person (a "Parent Corporation"), or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the ultimate Parent Corporation; (B) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Merger constitute at least half of the members of the board of directors of (x) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the ultimate Parent Corporation; and (C) no Person other than (1) the Company, (2) any Related Entity, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, was maintained by the Company or any Related Entity, or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to such Merger had Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities or Shares, has Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities or common stock of (x) the Surviving Corporation if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the ultimate Parent Corporation; (ii) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (iii) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a Related Entity or under conditions that would constitute a Non-Control Transaction with the disposition of assets being regarded as a Merger for this purpose or the distribution to the Company's stockholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the "Subject Person") acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur. 7. This Board reserves the right to terminate this plan at any time during any fiscal year and any unawarded balance remaining in the fund shall be withdrawn.

This is a legally binding document in which P&G commits itself to pay me a cash separation allowance and provide other benefits described in Parts I and III, below. In exchange, I am agreeing to release P&G from legal liability. P&G and I agree that any disputes we may have now or in the future that are not released by this Voluntary Separation Agreement and Release ("Agreement") will be resolved through binding arbitration, as discussed in Part III, below. I understand that any reference to P&G in this Agreement also includes parents, subsidiaries or affiliated entities and the directors, managers, agents, employees, successors and assigns of any of them. PART I. P&G AGREES THAT: P&G will provide me with a cash allowance (the "Separation Allowance") of [AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO NO GREATER THAN 1 TIMES ANNUAL BASE SALARY, PLUS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO BETWEEN 0% AND 100% OF ANY DEFERRED COMPENSATION FORFEITED], to be paid as a lump sum (less legally required deductions) as soon as practical after my Last Day of Employment. P&G will also provide me with the following benefits, in addition to any benefits to which I am otherwise already entitled: - My medical, dental, prescription drug, Employee Assistance Program and Basic Group Life Insurance coverages will be extended on their current terms, as such terms may change from time to time, until the earlier of (i) ______________, or (ii) the date on which I become eligible to participate in another employer's plans; and - Outplacement services from ______________ for __ months after date of first significant services, which I must begin using within forty-five (45) days after my separation date. - Reimbursement of up to $5,000 for approved retraining programs; and - A lump sum payment approximately equivalent to the non-vested credits in my Profit Sharing account [or other similar account] if I am not vested in the Profit Sharing Plan as of my separation date. (If I am vested, the distribution of my account will be handled according to the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan.) If prior to Last Day of Employment, I have been granted an Award(s) under The Procter & Gamble Future Shares Plan of October 14, 1997, as amended May 12, 1998 (the "Plan"), and I satisfy my obligations under Part II (A) of this Agreement, then P&G's execution and certification of this Agreement will certify my separation from employment as a Special Separation as defined in Article 2.19 of the Plan. If I am under age 55 on my last day of employment, this certification means that I will receive a cash payment equal to the Spread Value(1) (less legally required deductions) of my Future Shares, as provided in Article 6.1(e)(ii) of the Plan, on or shortly after my Last Date of Employment. If I am age 55 or over on my last day of employment, such certification means that I will retain the right to exercise such Award(s) as provided in Article 6.1(e) of the Plan. In addition, if I am a full-time employee and if on my last day of employment my age plus my Profit Sharing years of service are equal to or greater than 70, P&G will provide me with retiree medical, dental and life insurance coverages (according to the terms of the plans in effect after my extended employee coverages end as such terms may change from time to time) plus other benefits given to regular retirees including holiday gift boxes, P&G - ---------- (1) "Spread Value" is defined in Article 2.20 of the Plan as "the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Award." "Fair Market Value" is defined in Article 2.10 of the Plan as "... the average of the high and low prices of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of measurement..., and if there were no trades on such date, on the day on which a trade occurred next preceding such date...." publications, invitations to Company events, a retiree I.D. pass, and eligibility for participation in P&G's matching gift and scholarship programs. If I am eligible for regular retirement, I will, in addition to the benefits set forth in this Agreement, receive all benefits provided to regular retirees. PART II. I AGREE THAT: (A) I will continue to perform my work and responsibilities as an employee in a satisfactory manner up to and including my Last Date of Employment. If I do not do so and engage in any misconduct during my employment, I understand and agree that P&G will not be obligated to provide me with the payments and benefits set forth in Part I above, and if I have received any such payments and/or benefits, I agree to repay them to P&G upon its demand. (B) I agree not to use or share any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information about any aspect of P&G's business with any non-P&G employee or business entity at any time in the future. I also understand and agree that while I may work for a direct competitor of P&G, without the written consent of P&G I will not engage in any activity or provide any services for a period of three years following Last Day of Employment in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion or sale of any product which is the same as, similar to, or competitive with any products of P&G (including existing products as well as products which I know to be in development); (1) with respect to which my work has been directly concerned at any time during the two years preceding my last day of employment; or (2) with respect to which, as a consequence of my job performance and duties, I have acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of P&G; nor will I work in any position where the proprietary business or technical knowledge that I have gained in my job here at P&G would be directly applicable to that position in the competitor's business, nor will I accept a position for the next year (one year) for any other company on the same dedicated customer team that I worked with for P&G during the past two (2) years. I will discuss any questions I may have about this obligation with the Chief Executive Officer of P&G before accepting a position. (C) I release P&G from any claim of any kind I may have at any time arising out of my employment with P&G, my decision to end my employment at P&G or any employment references or lack thereof as discussed below in Part III, Paragraph (B). I also agree not to bring or be a party to any legal action, charge or claim of any kind against P&G regarding the same matters. Any re-employment consideration will be consistent with the Company's Re-employment Policy. This does not preclude me from filing a charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or from participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by it, although it does waive my rights to bring a lawsuit on my own behalf and to recover any damages or other remedy in a lawsuit brought on my behalf by the EEOC regarding such matters. This is a General Release that covers all claims under federal, state and local law, both statutory and common law, including but not limited to all federal, state, and local employment discrimination laws, claims, charges and legal actions under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, claims and legal actions under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and excludes only workers compensation or unemployment compensation claims. This Agreement and General Release does not waive any claims I may have which arise after the date I have signed this Agreement. PART III. P&G AND I AGREE THAT: (A) Because we recognize that resolving any future differences we may have in the courts can take a long time and be expensive, P&G and I agree that our only remedy for all disputes one of us may have with the other that are not released by this Agreement and arise out of my employment, my decision to end my employment, or any aspect of this Agreement will be to submit any such disputes (except for the exception noted in the next paragraph) to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Dispute of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. P&G and I agree that the aggrieved party must send written notice of any claim to the other party by certified mail, return receipt requested. Written notice to P&G will be sent to its Secretary at One Procter & Gamble Plaza, Cincinnati, OH 45202, and to me at the most current address shown for me in P&G's records. The arbitrator will apply the law of the state in which the claim arose, or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. Upon application to P&G, P&G will reimburse me for all fees and costs charged me by the American Arbitration Association and its arbitrator to the extent they exceed the applicable fees for filing and serving a lawsuit and summons upon P&G that would have been charged by a court of competent jurisdiction, and my claim been filed in court. There is one exception to this Paragraph (A). P&G may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction if it has reason to believe that I have violated or am about to violate the terms of Part II, Paragraph B above. (B) I understand that P&G's historical policy is to not provide employment references to prospective employers. However, P&G is willing to waive that policy in my case on the following basis: I authorize my managers, other P&G employees or agents to provide employment references upon request. In return, I release and will not bring, be a party to, or assist in any legal action, charge, or claim of any kind against P&G based upon the employment reference (or lack thereof). I understand that all disputes regarding employment references or the lack thereof must be resolved through arbitration as described in Part III, Paragraph A, above. PART IV: (A) If any court, arbitrator or other legal tribunal should later find that any aspect of this Agreement is invalid, that invalidity will not affect the legality of any other aspect of this Agreement. (B) In deciding to sign this Agreement, I have not relied upon any statements or promises by P&G other than those set forth in this document. (C) I have carefully read this entire Agreement and I understand its meaning. I also understand that this Agreement is a legal document, and by signing it I am giving up certain legal rights. I acknowledge that I have been given 45 days to consider this Agreement and that I have been advised to consult with an attorney about its terms. If I have executed this Agreement prior to the expiration of the given 45 day period specified above, I acknowledge and agree that I was afforded the opportunity to consider the Agreement for given 45 days before executing it and that my execution of this Agreement prior to the expiration of such given 45 day period was my free and voluntary act. I further understand that I may revoke my acceptance of this Agreement within seven (7) days after I sign it and that if I do not revoke my acceptance within that time, this Agreement becomes effective and enforceable by both parties immediately after the expiration of seven (7) days after I sign (the "effective date"). I understand that any revocation must be in writing and must be received by my immediate manager or that manager's designee no later than the close of business on the seventh day after my execution of this Agreement. P&G has given me enough time to consult with my family and other advisers and to consider whether I should agree to the terms of this Agreement. Finally, I am voluntarily signing this Agreement. (D) I understand and agree this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. - ------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Date THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY CERTIFIED & APPROVED BY: ------------ ---------------------------------------- Date EX-10.11 3 l15436aexv10w11.txt EXHIBIT 10.11 Exhibit (10.11) SHORT TERM ACHIEVEMENT REWARD PROGRAM The Short Term Achievement Reward ("STAR") Program is the Company's annual incentive bonus program designed to support outstanding business results of The Procter & Gamble Company (the "Company" or "P&G"). Awards are made within the authority of the Additional Remuneration Plan and the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. I. ELIGIBILITY Eligibility is based on job level and the requirement of working at least four weeks during the fiscal year. STAR participants who do not work a full time schedule for the entire fiscal year may have awards pro-rated. Separating employees must be active as of June 30 (the close of the fiscal year for which the award is payable) to receive an award, unless due to retirement or special circumstances agreed in advance. II. CALCULATION The individual STAR Award Calculation is: (STAR Target) x (Business Unit Performance Factor) x (Corporate Adjustment Factor) x (Gillette Factor) - - The STAR TARGET for each participant is calculated as: (Base Salary) x (STAR Target percent) Base Salary as of the end of June is used to calculate the STAR award. If a participant's level changes, the highest band level and salary during the fiscal year is used to determine the STAR Target. The STAR Target Percent is dependent on job level in the organization and will fall between 6% and 140%.
JOB BAND STAR TARGET AS % OF BASE - -------- ------------------------ 3 6% in 2005/06; 8% in 2006/07 and beyond 4 15% 5 25% 6 45% 7 70% 8 75% 9 140%
- - The BUSINESS UNIT PERFORMANCE FACTOR is assigned to each STAR business unit as a measure of success for the fiscal year. The factors range from 53% to 167% with the target at 100%. A STAR Committee, comprised of a small number of senior executives (who do not determine their own awards), conducts a retrospective assessment of the performance of each business unit according to one or more of the following measures and makes a recommendation to the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee: Operating Total Shareholder Return, Key Competitor Comparison, After Tax Profit, Operating Cash Flow, Value Share, Volume, Net Outside Sales, Value Contribution, Organization Head Self Assessment, and Cross Organization Assessment. There may also be other factors significantly affecting unit results. - - The CORPORATE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR measures the total Company success and ranges from 80% to 130%, with a 100% target. The same Corporate Adjustment Factor is applied to all STAR award calculations. It is determined by a matrix that measures P&G's market total shareholder return ("TSR") ranking relative to a competitive peer group and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") growth. Market TSR reflects the return shareholders could earn during the year - stock appreciation and dividends - from an investment in the Company's stock. - - The GILLETTE FACTOR is derived from a review and recommendation by the STAR Committee based on the results of the success of the Gillette integration. The factor ranges from 80% to 130% with 100% as the target. The same Gillette Factor will apply to all STAR award calculations. It will be determined by assessing performance during the fiscal year on various metrics including: sustaining the overall health of both the P&G and Gillette businesses during this period (based on market share and earnings progress); achieving sales, research and administrative budget and synergy objectives; meeting enrollment targets; and staying within integration cost and restructuring estimates. The Gillette Factor will be applied starting with the results of fiscal year 2005/06. STAR awards for fiscal year 2004/05 will be based on only the Business Unit Performance Factor and the Corporate Adjustment Factor, as in prior years. The STAR Committee makes recommendations to the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee regarding the actual awards to be made. The final awards are approved by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee. STAR Awards for members of the Star Committee are determined exclusively by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee without any recommendation from the STAR Committee. III. TIMING AND FORM STAR awards are determined after the close of the fiscal year and are paid on or about September 15. The award form choices and relevant considerations are explained in payment preference materials generally in the form of Appendix 1. Participants receive written notice of their award detailing the calculation, generally in the form of Appendix 2. The grant letters are generally in the form of Appendix 3. Generally, STAR awards are paid in cash. However, before the end of the calendar year preceding the award date, participants on record can choose their upcoming award in forms other than cash, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock units (for participants also in the Business Growth Program), depending on local regulations. To pay a STAR award in stock options, the Company compares current cash value to stock option value with a conversion factor that is reviewed annually. BUSINESS GROWTH PROGRAM The Business Growth Program ("BGP") is a part of the Company's long-term incentive plan and is designed to provide additional focus on key Company measures for top executives with senior management responsibility for total Company results. Awards are made within the authority of the Additional Remuneration Plan and the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. I. ELIGIBILITY The CEO, Vice-Chairs, Presidents, Global Function Heads, Senior Vice Presidents and equivalents may participate, as recommended by management and approved by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee. II. CALCULATION A BGP Award may be payable for the three-year performance period running July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2008. Interim awards may also be payable at the conclusion of the first and second years of the program. The Compensation & Leadership Development Committee reviews and approves awards relative to the base period of fiscal year 2004/05. It assesses Company performance according to the pre-established financial measures of diluted earnings per share ("EPS") growth and operating total shareholder return ("OTSR"). Adjustments may be made for significant acquisitions and divestitures, major equity investments, or other unusual items not reflected in the Company's operating plan or base year results. In all cases, the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee retains discretion to determine whether certain items should be included or excluded from award calculations and to verify that awards are appropriate and consistent with the long-term interests of shareholders. The Committee may reduce awards if it determines that payouts do not correspond to actual business results. - - THE THREE-YEAR AWARD is calculated as: (Payout Factor) X (Participant's Target Award). The Award Payout Factor ranging from 0% to 200% is assessed relative to a performance level of EPS growth and OTSR. A Participant's Target Award is based on a multiple of the executive's base salary at the time of entry into the program. For the Chairman of the Board and CEO, the target is two times base salary, times three (the number of years in the performance period). For all others, the target is one times base salary times the number of years participating in the program. - - INTERIM AWARDS are payable only if EPS growth and OTSR meets or exceeds target relative to the base period at the end of the first year and the first two years combined, respectively. Interim awards are calculated using the same factors as the three-year award. However, each interim award is only a partial progress payment, paid at 30% of the full three-year calculation. Any interim payments are subtracted from the full three-year award when calculating the final BGP payment. III. TIMING AND FORM BGP awards are delivered on or about September 15th for the fiscal year just completed. Each year's award, if payable, will be delivered half in three-year restricted stock units ("Required RSUs") and half in cash. Participants may elect to receive restricted stock units in place of the cash portion ("Elected RSUs"). For the CEO, all BGP payments will be made in restricted stock units, half in three-year restricted stock units and half in retirement restricted stock units. The award form choices and relevant considerations are explained in payment preference materials generally in the form of Appendix 1. Participants receive written notice of their award detailing the calculation, generally in the form of Appendix 4. The grant letters are generally in the form of Appendix 5. Program participants have their long-term incentives split between BGP and equity awards under the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. Their key manager awards under the latter plan are reduced in value by one-third of their three-year BGP target.

EX-10.12 4 l15436aexv10w12.txt EXHIBIT 10.12 Exhibit (10.12) ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO CERTAIN OFFICERS AND NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS I. CERTAIN OFFICER PROGRAMS The following is a summary of programs that are available to employees at the President level or higher ("Eligible Employees"). FINANCIAL COUNSELING The Financial Counseling Program is a reimbursement program designed to address the special financial planning needs of Eligible Employees. The Company provides a one-time initial reimbursement of up to $12,500 for program set-up, to include initial consultations with tax and financial experts and tax and financial counseling for the initial year in which the employee participates in the program. Thereafter, the company reimburses Eligible Employees up to $8,500 annually for tax and financial counseling services. The amounts described above are maximum reimbursement levels and may be used only for eligible expenses. Reimbursements may not be used for broker, portfolio management or similar fees, and the Company does not make cash payouts of any unused allowances. In addition, services provided by the Company's independent auditor are not reimbursable under this program. EXECUTIVE PHYSICAL The Company will reimburse the cost of an annual physical examination for each Eligible Employee. CLUB MEMBERSHIP Cincinnati, Ohio-based Eligible Employees are authorized to join the Metropolitan Club or Banker's Club at the Company's expense. The Metropolitan and Banker's clubs are private social/dining clubs, where the annual membership fees for each Eligible Employee are currently no more than $2,000 per club. For Eligible Employees based outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, the Company will reimburse the costs of joining a local social/dining club. The primary purpose of these memberships is to facilitate business-related entertaining and networking. However, these are full memberships and as such Eligible Employees are able to use these memberships for personal use as well. Apart from the annual membership fee, the Company does not reimburse or otherwise cover any personal use of these memberships. PERSONAL SECURITY The Company provides personal security services to the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice-Chairs of the Company, at Company expense. In addition, The Global Human Resources Officer may approve personal security services to other Company Employees where appropriate, again at Company expense. SPOUSE TRAVEL The purpose of the spouse travel program is to familiarize the spouse with the business issues and demands facing Eligible Employees and to meet other P&G employees and spouses. Although the Company does not consider spouse travel to be a personal benefit to Eligible Employees, it is including a description of spouse travel reimbursement as part of the programs available to Eligible Employees. The Company allows spouses (or significant others) of Eligible Employees to accompany the relevant Eligible Employee on up to two international business trips per year and up to one domestic business trip per year, at Company expense. In addition, the Company pays reasonable air and ground transportation, sight-seeing tour, hotel, meal and other incidental entertainment costs when the Company requests that spouses (or significant others) of Eligible Employees attend an event or meeting, such as the annual offsite meeting of the Company's Board of Directors. Other similar Company-paid travel is subject to approval by the head of the relevant Global Business Unit, the head of the Global MDO, or the Global Human Resources Officer, as appropriate. II. NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR PROGRAMS This paragraph summarizes a travel program available to spouses, significant others and family members (collectively, "Guests") who accompany non-employee directors ("Directors"). The purpose of these policies is to familiarize the Guests with the business issues and demands facing the Directors and to meet other Guests and employee spouses (or significant others). Although the Company does not consider Guest travel to be a personal benefit to Directors, it is including a description of Guest travel reimbursement as a program available to Directors. Generally, Guests are permitted to accompany Directors to regular Board meetings and other Board activities, so long as the Director is using Company aircraft and the Guests do not cause incremental aircraft costs. No more than once per year, the Board holds a multi-day offsite meeting, often in a location outside the United States. Guests are also permitted to accompany Directors to these offsite meetings. In some of these cases, the Guests' travel costs may be considered incremental or may involve commercial flights. The Company arranges and pays for reasonable ground transportation, sight-seeing tour, hotel, meal and other incidental entertainment costs for Directors and Guests while Directors attend both regular and off-site Board meetings and other Board activities.

Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower that requested such Borrowing at the address and the account number specified by such Borrower in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or, if no such address and account number are specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, at the Agent's address referred to in Section 8.02. Promptly after (x) each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Agent will notify each Lender of the amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, the corresponding Competitive Bid Reduction resulting therefrom and the dates upon which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and will terminate and (y) the prepayment of any Competitive Bid Borrowing by the applicable Borrower, the Agent will notify each Lender of the amount and date of each such prepayment and the amount, if any, of the corresponding Competitive Bid Reduction remaining after giving effect thereto. (vi) If the Borrower that requested any applicable Competitive Bid Borrowing notifies the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, that it accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii)(B), such notice of acceptance shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. Such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing for such Competitive Bid Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing when such Competitive Bid Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. (b) Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000, in respect of Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars, or (euro)10,000,000, in respect of Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Euros and, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a). (c) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03, any Borrower may from time to time borrow under Section 2.03(a), repay pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or prepay pursuant to Section 2.03(d), and reborrow under Section 2.03(a). (d) The Borrower to which any particular Competitive Bid Borrowing is made shall have no right to prepay the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance (or any portion thereof) unless, and then only on the terms, specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related -16- Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) and, if applicable, set forth in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance. (e) The Borrower to which any particular Competitive Bid Borrowing is made shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for and in the Optional Currency of such Competitive Bid Advance specified by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its notice with respect thereto delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) and, if applicable, provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance. (f) Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) any Competitive Bid Advance owing to, or to be made by, such Lender as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a separate promissory note, in substantially the form of Exhibit I-2 hereto (each, a "Competitive Bid Note"), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of indebtedness of such Borrower resulting from such Competitive Bid Advance. SECTION 2.04 Facility Fee. (a) The Initial Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee in Dollars on the aggregate amount of such Lender's Commitment, from the Closing Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to 0.025% per annum, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing September 30, 2005, and on the Termination Date. (b) Unless the Initial Borrower shall have notified the Agent in writing on or before 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing September 30, 2005, and the Termination Date, that it will pay, in cash, the Facility Fee that is due and payable by it on such date, the Lenders will be deemed to have made Revolving Credit Advances on such date in an amount equal to the Facility Fee that would otherwise be due and payable on such date, which Revolving Credit Advances shall, unless the Initial Borrower has otherwise notified the Agent in writing on or before such Business Day, be a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars having an initial Interest Period of one month. Each Revolving Credit Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.04(a)(ii) shall be deemed (A) to have made pursuant to the Commitments and shall be subject to the limitation that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances may at no time exceed the Commitments then in effect and (B) not to have been used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). SECTION 2.05 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The Initial Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the Unused Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000. (b) Mandatory. (i) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date. -17- (ii) In the event the Transaction Termination Date occurs, the Commitments shall be reduced to zero on the date which is 30 Business Days after the Transaction Termination Date. (iii) The Commitments shall be automatically reduced on each date on which the prepayment of Advances is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii) by an amount equal to 75% of the amount of the net cash proceeds received by the Borrowers from any issuance of any publicly traded bonds, debentures, or similar debt securities described in such Section 2.10(b)(iii). SECTION 2.06 Repayment of Advances. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances made to it that are then outstanding. (b) Repayment of Competitive Bid Advances. Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender that has made a Competitive Bid Advance, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower and owing to such Lender on the earlier of (i) the maturity date therefor, in the case of any such Competitive Bid Advance that is a Fixed Advance, or the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in the case of any such Competitive Bid Advance that is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, in each case as specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) and, if applicable, provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance, and (ii) the Termination Date. SECTION 2.07 Interest on Revolving Credit Advances. (a) Scheduled Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(c), each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made to it that is owing to each Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus (z) the Utilization Fee, if any, in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to such Base Rate Advance. (ii) Eurocurrency Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus (z) the Utilization Fee, if any, in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to such Eurocurrency Rate Advance. (b) Default Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest on: (i) any portion of the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made to it that is owing to each Lender that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, as the case may be; (ii) any portion of the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower and owing to any Lender, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable on such Competitive Bid Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per -18- annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Competitive Bid Advance in the offer made by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) and accepted by such Borrower under Section 2.03(a)(v), and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above. (c) Capitalization of Interest. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the appropriate Borrower has notified the Agent in writing on or before 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding any Interest Payment Date or date of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), that it will pay, in cash, the interest applicable to any Revolving Credit Advance, including any applicable Utilization Fee, that is due and payable by it on such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.07(a) or on such prepayment date in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(i), as applicable, the Lenders will be deemed to have made Revolving Credit Advances on such Interest Payment Date or prepayment date, as applicable, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest, including any applicable Utilization Fee, that would otherwise be due and payable on such date, which Revolving Credit Advance shall, unless such Borrower has otherwise notified the Agent in writing on or before such Business Day, (i) be of the same Type and Optional Currency as the Advance (the "Reference Advance") in respect of which such interest (including any applicable Utilization Fee) shall have accrued (in each case after giving effect to any Conversion of the Reference Advance on such Interest Payment Date), and (ii) if such Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, have an initial Interest Period of the same duration as the Interest Period commencing on such Interest Payment Date with respect to the Reference Advance. Each Revolving Credit Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be deemed (A) to have been made pursuant to the Commitments and shall be subject to the limitation that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances may at no time exceed the Commitments then in effect, and (B) to have been used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) if the related Reference Advance was used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. SECTION 2.08 Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each of the Borrowers and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii), and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under Section 2.07(a)(ii). (b) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Required Lenders in good faith notify the Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify each of the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (i)(A) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars will automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances, and (B) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Euros will automatically be exchanged for an Equivalent of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances -19- shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify each of the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (c) If any Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of "Interest Period" in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify each of the Borrowers and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in the same Optional Currency and having an Interest Period of one week. (d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, in respect of Advances denominated in Dollars, or (euro)10,000,000, in respect of Advances denominated in Euros, such Advances shall automatically (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Euros, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances. (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will, upon the written request of the Agent (at the request of the Required Lenders), on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Euros, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended. (f) If either, with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, the Moneyline Telerate Markets Page 3750, or, with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Euros, the Page 248 of the Moneyline Telerate Service, is unavailable and, in each such case, fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, (i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (ii) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Euros, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be automatically exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and (iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify each of the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. SECTION 2.09 Optional Conversion of Advances. Any Borrower may subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all or any portion of Revolving Credit Advances of one Type made to it comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that (a) any such Conversion of (i) Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Advances denominated in Dollars or of Eurocurrency Advances of one Interest Period into Eurocurrency Advances denominated in Dollars -20- and of another Interested Period shall be made on notice received no later than 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed Conversion, or (ii) in all other cases, shall be made on notice received no later than 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of the proposed Conversion, (b) in the case of any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars into Base Rate Advances other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower requesting such Conversion shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c), and (c) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such notice. SECTION 2.10 Prepayments. (a) Optional. Each Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days notice to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000, in respect of each prepayment of Advances denominated in Dollars, or (euro)10,000,000, in respect of each prepayment of Advances denominated in Euros, and in an integral multiples of $1,000,000 or (euro)1,000,000, as applicable, in excess thereof, and (ii) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Notwithstanding anything in the previous sentence to the contrary, no Borrower may prepay any Competitive Bid Advances other than in accordance with Section 2.03(d). (b) Mandatory. (i) If, on any date, the Agent notifies the Initial Borrower that, on any Interest Payment Date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Euros then outstanding exceeds 110% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date, one or more of the Borrowers (as determined by the Initial Borrower) shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, subject to the proviso to this sentence below, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by such Borrowers in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date, together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of Advances prepaid; provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances outstanding at the time of such required prepayment is less than the amount of such required prepayment, the portion of such required prepayment in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances then outstanding shall be deferred until the earliest to occur of the last day of the Interest Period of the outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of such required prepayment. The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b)(i) to each of the Borrowers and the Lenders, and shall provide prompt notice to each of the Borrowers of any such notice of required prepayment received by it from any Lender. (ii) On each Business Day, each of the Borrowers shall repay the outstanding Advances by an amount equal to the excess of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances over the aggregate Commitments after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05 on the immediately preceding Business Day. -21- (iii) Each Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in an amount equal to 75% of the amount of net cash proceeds received by such Borrower from each issuance in the U.S. or European capital markets of publicly traded bonds, debentures, or similar debt securities having a maturity in excess of one year. SECTION 2.11 Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation enacted or issued after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date of this Agreement, there shall be any material increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction, state or any political subdivision thereof under the laws of which such Lender has any present or former connection, then the applicable Borrower shall from time to time, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost in reasonable detail and stating the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certifying that such Lender's method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Lender's demand for payment of such costs hereunder is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to such Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions, submitted to such Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error in the calculation of such amount. (b) If any Lender reasonably determines that compliance with any law or regulation enacted or issued after the date of this Agreement, or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date of this Agreement, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is materially increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost in reasonable detail and stating the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certifying that such Lender's method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Lender's demand for payment of such costs hereunder is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to such Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions, submitted to such Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error in the calculation of such amount. (c) Before making any demand under this Section 2.11, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. (d) If any Lender shall subsequently recoup any costs (other than from a Borrower) for which such Lender has theretofore been compensated by a Borrower under this Section 2.11, such Lender shall remit to such Borrower an amount equal to the amount of such recoupment. -22- SECTION 2.12 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or Euros or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or Euros hereunder, (a) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, upon such demand, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Euros, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify each of the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. SECTION 2.13 Payments and Computations. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, if any, with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in Dollars, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent's Account in same day funds. Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, if any, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in Euros, not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the day when due in Euros to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent's Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes, if any, in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. (b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of facility fees shall be made by the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or facility fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes, if any, shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or -23- principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. (d) Unless the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall have received notice from the appropriate Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, on such date, and the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, each Lender shall repay to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate, in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars, or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Sub-Agent, in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Euros. SECTION 2.14 Taxes. (a) Each Borrower shall only be required to pay or reimburse any Lender or the Agent for present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings arising from or in connection with any payments made by any Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any liabilities with respect to the foregoing (collectively, "Taxes"), other than Excluded Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to any Lender or the Agent, (i) such Borrower shall make such deductions in respect of Taxes, (ii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other governmental or regulatory authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) to the extent, there is an increase in any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed on such Lender or the Agent as a result of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (such increased amount being the "Non-Excluded Taxes" of such Lender or the Agent), the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Non-Excluded Taxes such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Non-Excluded Taxes by any Borrower, such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. For purposes of this section 2.14, the term "Change in Law" shall mean the adoption of any law, rule, regulation, court decision or precedential administrative guidance after the date of this Agreement. (b) Each of the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for, and hold each of them harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes paid by such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be. This indemnification shall be made within 90 days from the date on which such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor and provides adequate documentary evidence of payment thereof. (c) Each Lender and the Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any requesting Borrower required to withhold under section 1441 or 1442 or comply with any information reporting or backup withholding requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the regulations thereunder, the following properly completed and duly executed documents: (i) if such Lender or the Agent is not a United States Person, a complete and executed (A) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Lender claims and validly establishes the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a -24- zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (B) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); (ii) if such Lender or the Agent is a natural person, a complete and executed (A) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto (a "Section 2.14 Certificate"), or (B) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); (iii) if such Lender or the Agent is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (A) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (B) if such Person is disregarded for federal income tax purposes, the documents that would be required under clause (i), (ii), this clause (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of this Section 2.14(c) with respect to its beneficial owner as if such beneficial owner were a Lender; (iv) if such Lender or the Agent (A) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (B) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN establishing a zero rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 2.14 Certificate; (v) if such Lender or the Agent (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (1) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (2) a Section 2.14 Certificate, and, without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, "beneficial owners"), the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), this clause (v) and/or clause (vi) of this Section 2.14(c) with respect to each such beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were Lender, provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Lender or the Agent is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) of Section 2.14(c) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary (all such determinations under this clause (v) of Section 2.14(c) to be made in the sole discretion of the Initial Borrower); or (vi) (A) if such Lender or the Agent is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Person shall deliver the document that would be required by this clause (vi), or by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of Section 2.14(c) with respect to its sole owner if such sole owner were such Lender or the Agent, or (B) if such Lender or the Agent is not a United States person and is acting in the capacity as an "intermediary" (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (1) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments), and (2) if such intermediary is a "non-qualified intermediary" (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the "non-qualified intermediary" is acting, the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or this clause (vi) of Section 2.14(c) with respect to each such Person if each such Person were Lender. -25- In addition, each Lender or the Agent, shall provide any requesting Borrower with such other forms, certificates and documentation that such Lender or the Agent is legally entitled to furnish as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain any reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any governmental authority on payments made by such Borrower under any Loan Document. Each Lender and the Agent shall provide the appropriate forms, certificates and other documentation described in this Section 2.14(c) (x) prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; (y) upon a Change in Law or circumstances requiring or making appropriate a new or additional form, certificate or documentation; and (z) whenever reasonably requested by any of the Borrowers or the Agent. If the forms referred to above in this Section 2.14(c) that are provided by a Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a withholding tax rate in excess of zero on payments under this Agreement to be received by such Lender from a Borrower organized in a Covered Jurisdiction, such withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Excluded Taxes unless and until such Lender provides all such forms, duly completed and delivered, establishing that a lesser rate applies, whereupon such withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If the forms referred to above in this Section 2.14(c) that are provided by a Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a withholding tax rate in excess of zero on payments under this Agreement to be received by such Lender from a Borrower that is not organized in a Covered Jurisdiction, such withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Lender assigns all or a portion of its commitments under this Agreement to an Affiliate thereof, such Lender assignor was entitled to additional amounts under Section 2.14(a), then the related Lender assignee shall be entitled to additional amounts solely to the extent that amounts payable to such Lender assignee are themselves subject to a withholding tax imposed as a direct result of a Change in Law occurring after the date on which the Lender assignor became a party to this Agreement. Any additional Taxes imposed on any Lender as a direct result of a change in the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender shall be treated as Excluded Taxes except to the extent that (I) any such additional Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Law occurring after the date of change of its Applicable Lending Office, or (II) such change is made at the request of the Initial Borrower in which case the additional Non-Excluded Taxes shall be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by reason of a Change in Law and indemnified pursuant to subsection (a) above. (d) For any period with respect to which any Lender or the Agent has failed to provide the Initial Borrower with the duly completed forms, certificates or other documents described in Section 2.14(c) or any successor thereto (other than if such failure is due to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, not being legally entitled to provide any such form, certificate or other document or if it is legally inadvisable for such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, to deliver such form, certificate or other document), such Lender or the Agent shall not be entitled to the payment of any additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.14(a) or to indemnification under Section 2.14(b) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes by reason of such failure, and such Taxes shall be considered Excluded Taxes; provided, however, that should any Lender or the Agent become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the appropriate Borrower shall, at the Agent's or such Lender's sole expense, take such steps (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) as such Lender or the Agent shall reasonably request to assist such Person in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes from the proper governmental or regulatory authority. However, none of the Borrowers will be required to take any action that would be inadvisable or overly burdensome. (e) Each Lender and the Agent hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any circumstances entitling such Person to any additional amounts under Section 2.14(a) or to indemnification under Section 2.14(b), such Lender or the Agent shall use its best efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions), at its own expense, to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if -26- the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts or indemnification that may thereafter accrue. (f) If any Lender or the Agent entitled to additional compensation under any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 shall fail to designate a different Applicable Lending Office that avoids the need for additional compensation as provided in Section 2.14, then the Initial Borrower may cause such Lender or the Agent to (and, if the Initial Borrower so demands, such Lender or the Agent shall) assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more other Persons identified by any Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 8.07(a). (g) If any Lender or the Agent determines that it has received a refund of or credit against any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund or credit to Borrower (but only to the extent of amounts paid by such Borrower under this Section 2.14), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental or regulatory authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided, however, that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower to such Lender or the Agent in the event such Lender or the Agent is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority or such credit is subsequently denied. Nothing in this Section 2.14(g) shall be deemed to require the Agent or any Lender to provide copies of tax returns or other confidential tax information. (i) Each Lender and the Agent shall take all actions reasonably requested by any Borrower to assist such Borrower, at the sole expense of such Borrower, to recover from the relevant taxation authority or other governmental authority any Taxes in respect of which amounts were paid by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(a) or Section 2.14(b). SECTION 2.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each of the Borrowers agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. SECTION 2.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including to finance acquisitions, providing backup liquidity to support the issuance of commercial paper and the consummation of the Transaction. SECTION 2.17 Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender -27- resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time on account thereof. Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of such Borrower payable to the order of such Lender, in substantially the form of Exhibit I-1 hereto (a "Revolving Credit Note"), in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender. (b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from such Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof, and (v) whether the proceeds of each Borrowing has be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). (c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement. SECTION 2.18 Call Right of Affiliates. Any Affiliate of a Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the purchase, and, if such notice is given such Affiliate shall, purchase from the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest thereon. After giving effect to each such purchase, the purchasing Affiliate shall be treated as a Lender to the extent of the rights and obligations so purchased, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Each purchase made pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall also be subject to Section 8.07(a). ARTICLE III CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS AND LENDING SECTION 3.01 Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing. The initial Borrowing of Advances under this Agreement shall be made on and as of the first date (the "Closing Date") on which the following conditions precedent have been satisfied: (a) All amounts owing by the Initial Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement shall have been, or concurrently with the initial Borrowing hereunder shall be, paid in full, and all commitments of the lenders thereunder shall have been, or concurrently with the initial Borrowing hereunder shall be, terminated in accordance with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement. -28- (b) The Initial Borrower shall have paid all accrued fees and expenses of the Agent (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent).

Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.

If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Initial Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

No Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either each of the Borrowers or one or more assignees therefrom in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of -42- such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (2) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee in accordance with Section 8.07(a), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to each of the Borrowers. (d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time, and whether the proceeds of each such Advanced were used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Lender in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. -43- (e) Each Lender may upon not less than five Business Days' notice to the Initial Borrower sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to each of the Borrowers hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) each of the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any scheduled date for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. If any Lender sells a participation as described in this Section 8.07(e), such Lender shall provide to the Agent on behalf of the Borrowers, or maintain as agent of the Borrowers, the information described in Section 8.07(d) with respect to such participation and shall permit each of the Borrowers to review such information (to the extent permitted under applicable law) from time to time upon request. Neither the sale of any such participation nor the holding of such a participation by any participant shall increase any obligation of any Borrower under Section 2.14. (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or proposed participation, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any financial statements and related documents delivered to the Agent in accordance with Section 4.01(e), Section 5.01(d)(i) or Section 5.01(d)(ii); provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or proposed participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it in accordance with the terms of Section 8.08. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. SECTION 8.08 Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of each of the Borrowers, other than (a) to the Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by 8.07(f), to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process and (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking; provided, that, with respect to clause (b) above, the Agent and each Lender agree to notify the Initial Borrower promptly of any such request for the disclosure of Confidential Information unless such notification is prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation or by judicial process. SECTION 8.09 Judgment Currency. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars or Euros into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars or Euros, -44- as the case may be, with such other currency at Citibank's principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. (b) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the "Primary Currency") to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess. SECTION 8.10 Additional Borrowers; Assumption of Advances. (a) The Initial Borrower may request that any of the Related Parties become party to this Agreement as an additional borrower (an "Additional Borrower"), and additionally such Related Party or a Borrower may elect that all or any portion of the Advances and other obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be assumed by any other Borrower, in either case, by delivering to the Agent each of the following: (i) a Borrower Accession Agreement, duly executed by the Initial Borrower and such Related Party, together with a certificate of an authorized representative of the Additional Borrower certifying the names and true signatures of the other authorized representatives of the Additional Borrower authorized to sign the Borrower Accession Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder; (ii) an opinion of counsel addressing the matters covered by opinion paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Exhibit C-1, opinion paragraph 1 of Exhibit C-2, and opinion paragraphs 1 and 2 of Exhibit C-3 in Section 3.01(d)(iv) (with such exceptions, assumptions and qualifications as are customary or appropriate in light of the circumstances under which such opinion is given); (iii) (A) except in the case of any Related Party that will be an Affiliate Guaranteed Borrower, the most recently available quarterly or annual financial statements of such Related Party and its Subsidiaries (which may be unaudited) and (B) in the case of an Affiliate Guaranteed Borrower, the most recently available quarterly or annual financial statements of the applicable Guarantor (which may be unaudited); and (iv) if, as of the date such Related Party becomes an Additional Borrower, such Related Party does not have long-term senior unsecured debt ratings of A- or better from S&P or A3 or better from Moody's, a duly executed and delivered Guaranty Agreement from the Company or a Related Party that maintains such debt rating at such time. (b) A Related Party in respect of which the Initial Borrower has delivered a Borrower Accession Agreement to the Agent shall become an Additional Borrower and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder with respect to the Commitments specified to be made available to such Additional Borrower, which shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000,000; provided, that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such joinder or assumption, as applicable. Upon any assumption of all of the Advances and other obligations -45- of any Borrower, then, so long no Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing in respect of such Borrower is outstanding at such time, such Borrower shall no longer be a party to this Agreement.

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS: At the beginning of this decade, we made several promises to P&G shareholders. We said we would get P&G growing again. We set demanding but realistic growth goals: 4-6% sales growth,(1) 10% or better earnings-per-share growth, and free cash flow productivity equal to or greater than 90% of earnings.(2) P&G has met or exceeded these growth goals for four consecutive years. Since 2000: - - We've grown sales more than 40%, to $57 billion. We've more than doubled profits. We've generated more than $30 billion in free cash flow.(3) - - We have returned $11 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends, and have increased shareholder value another $60 billion by nearly doubling the price of P&G stock.(4) We said we would focus on being the global leader in P&G's core categories, with leading global brands. - - P&G is the global leader in all four core categories. Baby Care and Feminine Care both have global shares above 35%. Fabric Care has more than a 30% share globally. Hair Care is over 20% in a large and fragmented category. - - P&G is growing share in categories that represent more than two-thirds of Company sales. - - Since 2000, we've grown P&G's billion-dollar brand lineup from 10 to 17 brands. Pampers is now a $6 billion brand. Tide is a $3 billion brand. Pantene, Always, and Ariel are all $2 billion brands. Dawn became P&G's 17th billion-dollar brand in 2005. We said we would take the steps necessary to ensure P&G brands provide the best consumer value. - - Baby Care is the innovation leader with Baby Stages of Development, Pampers Feel'n Learn, and Kandoo personal care for toddlers. - - Fabric Care is leading with Tide Coldwater and Tide with a touch of Downy. - - Tampax Pearl and Naturella are setting the standard for performance and value in Feminine Care. - - Pantene Pro-Health and Color Expressions are keeping Hair Care in the lead.

FOUR DRIVERS have enabled P&G to deliver consistent growth: CLEAR STRATEGIES, CORE STRENGTHS, BALANCE, and LEADERSHIP. Organic Unit Volume Growth (% increase versus previous year) 2003 8% 2004 10% 2005 8%

[LINE GRAPH] Total Shareholder Return (Indexed versus June 30, 2000) same time, we have focused on increasing productivity throughout P&G. - - We have increased sales per employee nearly 40% over the past five years. - - Even though R&D investment has increased over the past five years, R&D as a percentage of sales has declined from 4.8% in 2000 to 3.4% in 2005. More than 80% of initiatives succeeded in creating shareholder value, an improvement of 25% over the past three years. - - We have decreased P&G's Global Business Services (GBS) costs by more than 15% on base business services since 2000. - - We have grown the productivity of P&G's Product Supply organization at a high single-digit rate since 2000. - - We have reduced capital spending as a percentage of sales since 2000 from nearly 8% to less than 4%, without foregoing any strategic investment in growth. - - We've added an incremental growth point to the Company's top line over the past two years with Marketing ROI (return on investment) initiatives. This focus on productivity improvement has strengthened P&G's cost structure. As a result, we've been able to make investments that have helped accelerate top-line growth, while also generating strong free cash flow from operating businesses. In other words, we said we would grow sustainably - and we have. SUSTAINING GROWTH IN FISCAL 2005 Of course, it's long-term performance that counts. Four years of solid performance is a good start - but each time we add another year to P&G's track record of consistent growth, we remind ourselves that the hard work is still ahead. Our commitment to delivering reliably year after year resulted in another strong year of growth in fiscal 2005. - - We increased volume 8%. Organic volume(5) was also up 8%. - - We grew sales 10%, to $56.7 billion. Organic sales(6) were up 8%. - - We delivered $7.3 billion in net earnings, up 12%. - - Earnings per share were $2.66, up 15%. - - We generated $6.5 billion in free cash flow, or 90% of earnings. (5) Excludes the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. (6) Excludes the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign exchange of 2% in 2005. - - We increased dividends per share 11%, the 49th consecutive fiscal year in which P&G has increased dividends. Growth was broad-based. - - Every Global Business Unit delivered volume growth. P&G Household Care and P&G Family Health both grew volume 8%, and P&G Beauty increased volume 12%. - - The 17 billion-dollar brands delivered high single-digit volume growth this past fiscal year. - - Every Market Development Organization grew volume. Developed markets delivered mid-single-digit volume growth, and developing markets were up high teens. - - We grew volume 7% on average across P&G's top 10 retail customers. The balance of customers grew double-digit. These results demonstrate that P&G's goals are achievable and its strategies are working. STRATEGIES, STRENGTHS, BALANCE, AND LEADERSHIP Four drivers have enabled P&G to deliver this consistent growth: clear strategies, core strengths, balance, and leadership. P&G's strategies remain unchanged. We are continuing to focus on core businesses and on P&G's leading brands, countries, and customers. We are continuing to build P&G leadership in the faster-growing, higher-margin beauty and health care businesses. We are continuing to invest in growth with lower-income consumers in developing markets. I'm confident these remain the right choices for sustained growth. P&G's core strengths - branding, innovation, go-to-market, and scale - continue to set our Company apart from competition. I have discussed P&G's strategies and strengths in detail in previous letters. This year, I want to focus on balance and leadership to provide a more complete picture of the drivers enabling P&G's sustained, long-term growth. BALANCE CREATES FLEXIBILITY TO ACHIEVE GOALS P&G has become a more balanced company. This is important. A balanced approach to growth and a balanced mix of businesses, brands, markets, and customers provide flexibility to deliver results reliably, in good times and challenging times alike.

P&G HAS BECOME A MORE BALANCED COMPANY. With the acquisition of Gillette, roughly half of P&G sales will come from Baby, Family, and Household categories, and half will come from Beauty and Health businesses. [PICTURE] We have a uniquely balanced combination of businesses and brands. With the planned acquisition of Gillette, roughly half of P&G sales will come from Baby, Family, and Household, and half will come from Beauty and Health. P&G's lineup of billion-dollar brands is well balanced. When the Gillette acquisition is complete, we will have 10 billion-dollar brands in Beauty and Health, and 12 billion-dollar brands in Baby, Family, and Household. We have a balanced geographic presence. About half of P&G sales come from North America and half from international markets. Ten of the top 16 countries are billion-dollar markets - countries in which we generate a billion dollars or more in P&G sales each year. Eight of the top 16 countries are developing markets - countries that we expect to become a larger part of our mix, adding about a percentage point of growth each year. We have a balanced mix of customers. Nearly half of P&G's top 10 retail customers sell a billion dollars or more each year in P&G products. We have grown volume 9% a year on average over the past three years with these billion-dollar customers, and 9% with the top 10 customers worldwide. In addition, we have delivered high-teens volume growth on average in high-frequency stores common in developing countries. If they were a single retailer, these high-frequency stores would be P&G's single largest volume customer. P&G's growth is not dependent on any one channel or customer. Our objective is to serve all consumers and to grow with all customers. Our experience this past year is a good illustration of why balance matters. We faced some tough challenges in fiscal 2005 - and yet we still achieved our long-term goals. Rising commodity costs put significant pressure on global Fabric Care. Oral Care faced increased competitive spending. Competitive price discounting and trade promotion spending was particularly intense in North America and Western Europe. Without P&G's balance, we might have been tempted to reduce strategic investments in branding or innovation to deliver short-term goals. Instead, we sustained these important investments and still delivered ahead of sales and earnings growth goals. We were able to do this because other major businesses, including Beauty, Baby and Family Care, Coffee and Snacks, and fast-growing developing markets delivered well ahead of goals. INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP CREATES CAPABILITY TO GROW In addition to balance, there is another reason shareholders can rely on P&G to deliver consistently: industry leadership that enables growth. Leadership is important because it creates opportunities to grow, to sustain growth over the long term, and to earn superior returns from consistent growth. P&G aspires to be the leading consumer products company in sales, profitability, market capitalization, shareholder return, and - particularly important - in each of our core strengths. We are creating sustainable leadership advantages in branding, innovation, go-to-market capability, and scale - and we aspire to be the industry best in each area. Branding We have the largest lineup of leading brands in the industry: 17 billion-dollar brands, and another 13 brands with sales of $500 million or more capable of crossing the billion-dollar mark in the next several years. These are brands consumers want in their homes and retailers want in their stores. Innovation Innovation starts with consumer understanding. We have one of the industry's largest pools of consumer data, representing more than 100 million consumers across 30 countries, 25 customers, and 20 categories. Deep consumer and shopper understanding drives P&G innovation and brand building and strengthens the value we bring to retail partners. We translate this understanding into innovation that improves consumers' lives. We invest nearly $2 billion a year in research and development, which is more than most of our direct competitors combined. And, we multiply our innovative capacity with a global network of innovation partners that gives us access to literally thousands of ideas and technologies each year. Go-to-Market Capability We provide retailers with consumer and shopper research, supply chain solutions, branding and marketing expertise, and more. This results in stronger retail partnerships. In a recent industry survey of U.S. retailers, P&G was ranked #1 in six of eight categories: clearest strategy, most innovative, most helpful consumer and shopper information, best supply chain management, best category management, and best consumer marketing. P&G's LEADERSHIP CREATES OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW. We attract more innovation partners. We build strong partnerships with customers and suppliers. We attract and retain top people who want to work for the industry leader. P&G and Gillette are STRONGER TOGETHER than alone. We are focused on the SAME STRATEGY. We are leveraging the SAME CORE STRENGTHS. We will have even GREATER BALANCE and a STRONGER LEADERSHIP position. Together. Scale We create and capture scale - in purchasing, distribution, business services, and more - at the company level. Global, regional, and local business units use this scale to keep operating costs low, to bring innovation to market at competitive prices, and to invest more than competition in R&D and marketing, all of which drives sustainable top-line and bottom-line growth. Being the industry leader in these four areas creates opportunities to grow. We can attract more innovation partners because they recognize that P&G's leading brands are highly efficient platforms for commercializing innovation. We can develop stronger partnerships with industry-leading customers, marketing and communications agencies, and suppliers because we offer greater growth opportunities as the global leader in many of our businesses. We can attract and retain top talent, people who want diverse career opportunities and who want to work for the industry leader. GILLETTE ADDS BALANCE AND LEADERSHIP Gillette will accelerate the shift of P&G's business mix toward faster-growing, higher-margin, more asset-efficient businesses: beauty and health. We are bringing together many of the industry's most successful brands; with Gillette, P&G will have 22 billion-dollar brands. As a combined company, we will offer retailers a larger, more profitable mix of brands, broader and deeper consumer and shopper knowledge, more product and marketing innovation, and more supply chain solutions - creating even stronger partnerships. We will provide Gillette access to P&G's larger distribution networks in major developing markets such as China, where P&G serves consumers in 2,000 cities and more than 11,000 towns and villages. Finally, we will add Gillette's highly regarded organization to P&G's own, creating one of the strongest global organizations in any industry. P&G and Gillette are stronger together than alone. We are focused on the same strategy. We are leveraging the same core strengths. We will have even greater balance and a stronger leadership position. This should mean more opportunities to win with more consumers and customers in more categories and markets every day. OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW Gillette, of course, is one of our biggest growth opportunities. We have increased P&G's annual sales growth goal by a point through 2010, from 4-6% to 5-7%(1) given Gillette's leadership in faster-growing categories and the growth synergies we expect to create once the integration is complete. Beyond Gillette, there are opportunities to keep growing in all of P&G's businesses. Our growth model calls for 2-3% from market expansion, roughly in line with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. As our business mix shifts toward faster-growing categories and markets, we expect to get closer to 3% market growth, which has been our experience over the past two years. The balance of organic growth will come from a combination of continued share growth, white space expansion, and new business creation. We've proven over time that we can build share consistently. Our top five categories have grown to an average global value share of about 30%. We have achieved 50% to 60% shares in Western Europe Baby Care and Feminine Care, and North America Fabric Care - and these businesses are still growing share today. The next 20 categories are only halfway to the 30% share mark - representing significant growth potential. White space expansion is an opportunity that exists in both developing and developed markets. We still have numerous opportunities to expand our top categories into the 50 largest countries. Even in global categories such as Fabric Care, Feminine Care, Hair Care, Baby Care, Skin Care, and Oral Care, we still have a $15 billion white space opportunity. The majority of white space opportunity exists in developing markets. These countries represent 23% of P&G sales currently, but they have 86% of the world's population, account for 25% of global GDP today, and will approach 30% by the end of the decade. This is particularly important for P&G because increases in household formation and income drive the growth and development of consumer products categories. New business creation is another source of top-line growth. P&G has a proven track record of building new categories and creating new brands. No other consumer products company is creating entirely new businesses at the rate we are. We have generated nearly $5 billion of retail sales in P&G's organic growth will come from continued SHARE GROWTH, WHITE SPACE EXPANSION, and NEW BUSINESS creation. (1) Excluding the impact of foreign exchange. We are REALISTIC about the challenges we will face, and we have the FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY and ORGANIZATIONAL AGILITY to respond even when unexpected issues arise. categories where we did not compete or that did not exist four years ago. We will continue to invest in new businesses, with emphasis on entering or creating categories adjacent to existing P&G categories. We have identified more than $20 billion of opportunity in categories that are growing an average 6% per year with P&G-average margins. These new categories are close enough to P&G's core to give us confidence we could be a serious contender for leadership. CHALLENGES TO GROWTH Even with these significant growth opportunities, we are realistic about the challenges we face. Completing the integration of Gillette is a key challenge. We've identified $1-$1.2 billion in cost synergies. We remain confident we can achieve these synergies while integrating our companies and, importantly, keeping P&G's and Gillette's existing businesses healthy and growing. Competitive pressure is unrelenting. P&G competes against some of the best companies in the world, and we can expect them to continue competing aggressively. We know we must sustain the pace of innovation that has been a key driver of P&G's success over the past several years. At the same time, we know it is likely that competitors will continue to compete on price and trade incentives, so we must preserve the financial flexibility to price competitively to ensure consumer value and to protect P&G brand market shares. The high cost of commodities and other materials is another significant challenge. Oil is up 45% versus year ago. Resin costs are up 20%. Coffee beans are up more than 40%. All this is resulting in higher product costs. We will continue to take pricing actions to recover commodity increases where and when we can, and we will continue to focus on ongoing cost savings to offset commodity increases. These are some of the challenges we face. There will be other challenges we cannot predict. The key is to have the financial flexibility and organizational agility to respond even when unexpected issues arise. This is why P&G's balance and leadership are so important. The Company's balance provides the financial flexibility we need to respond to external challenges. P&G's leadership enables us to continue investing in growth and to continue creating value with retail partners and suppliers, even as we manage through tough challenges. EARNING YOUR TRUST Growing a company the size of P&G is not easy, but our performance over the past few years demonstrates that it is achievable - with clear strategies, core strengths, a balanced approach to growth, and the benefits of leadership. We know we must continue to see things as they are, to stay reality-based. We must embrace change and proactively influence its course. We must play to P&G's strengths and stay with the business strategy that is working. Above all, we must serve consumers as our boss. Only by improving consumers' lives in meaningful ways every day - with P&G brands of superior performance, quality, and value - can we deliver the growth you expect every year. I am confident P&G people are up to the challenge, and I thank you for your continued trust and support. /s/ A.G. Lafley - -------------------- A.G. Lafley Chairman of the Board, August 9, 2005 President and Chief Executive [PICTURE] A.G. LAFLEY Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Our performance demonstrates that with CLEAR STRATEGIES, a unique combination of STRENGTHS, a BALANCED APPROACH to growth, and the benefits of LEADERSHIP, P&G can SUSTAIN GROWTH for the long term.

[PICTURE] INTEGRATING GILLETTE On July 12, 2005, P&G and Gillette shareholders overwhelmingly approved the combination of the two companies, with more than 96% of voting shareholders in favor of the acquisition. The Gillette integration team is jointly led by P&G Chief Financial Officer Clayt Daley and Gillette CEO Jim Kilts. In this discussion, P&G CEO A.G. Lafley addresses questions about the planned integration. "Mega-mergers" often fail, even when the companies are in the same industry. How will this acquisition be different? There are a number of important differences that make us confident this combination will not just work, but thrive. The first is the health of our businesses. Often, when companies are acquired, one of the companies is struggling. That's not the case here. Both Gillette and P&G are delivering strong top- and bottom-line growth. We're combining Gillette's and P&G's healthy brand franchises and core strengths. And, we're coming together at a time when there are abundant opportunities for even more growth. We believe we can and will grow faster together than either company could grow alone. Another key difference is the unique flexibility of P&G's organization structure. P&G's Global Business Unit (GBU), Market Development Organization (MDO), and Global Business Services (GBS) structure gives us the ability to integrate new businesses while continuing to build existing businesses. The Iams, Clairol, and Wella acquisitions demonstrated this capability. Our market development organizations have taken Clairol's Herbal Essences brand global while concurrently building Pantene to record global market share and turning Head & Shoulders into one of our fastest-growing billion-dollar brands. Likewise, P&G's Global Business Services organization has been integrating back-office support for the new acquisitions while also raising service levels and lowering costs for P&G's base business. No other consumer products company has created similar organization capabilities. Gillette's businesses will take full advantage of P&G's GBU, MDO, and GBS organization structure. Do you remain confident that you can achieve the cost and revenue synergy goals? Yes. We've identified more than a billion dollars in cost synergy opportunities. Integration teams are developing plans to deliver them. We will eliminate administrative overlap by integrating Gillette's and P&G's corporate staffs. We will deliver critical support through P&G's Global Business Services organization, leveraging scale to deliver best-in-class costs not available to Gillette today. We see significant synergy opportunities in purchasing, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, and retail selling. We have also begun planning revenue synergies. Short term, our focus is on expanding the distribution of Gillette brands into channels and markets where they are not fully represented today, such as China. At the same time, we want to leverage Gillette's strong in-store presence in channels and with customers where P&G brands are not fully developed, such as home improvement channels. Mid-term, our focus will be on broadening Gillette's brand equities. We're confident the Gillette brand can stand for more than blades, razors, and pre- and post-shave products in the hearts and minds of consumers. This is a great global brand that can become an even bigger and broader platform for innovation. Mismatched cultures are frequently a reason big mergers or acquisitions don't work out. Are the cultures of Gillette and P&G compatible? Absolutely. Our companies are more alike than different. We're both in the business of improving consumers' lives every day. We both operate according to similar values handed down over generations. We both have the same belief in the power of brands and innovation. We both are known for outstanding people at every level, in every part of the business. We're a great fit. We did a culture survey with input from Gillette and P&G management and employees. We looked at decision making, recognition and reward systems, and a number of other critical cultural behaviors and norms. The two companies were very similar in the majority of areas. There were a few differences - for example, in how each company defines accountability and how we communicate internally - which we see as opportunities to grow and to learn from each other. The fit between our cultures is evident in the spirit of collaboration with which people are working together. The people on Gillette and P&G businesses are focused on delivering their current business goals, while the integration teams are completing transition and synergy plans. We're being open and transparent about every aspect of the integration effort. We're moving quickly and making decisions collaboratively and promptly. And, we're communicating every step of the way to build credibility and trust. Integrating the cultures and organizations of two companies with histories as long and rich as P&G's and Gillette's is a complex undertaking - but it's a challenge our people have taken on with a real commitment to excellence and success. What are you doing to attract and retain key Gillette talent? Our strategy is to field the best team, drawing from both Gillette and P&G. We're focused on ensuring leadership continuity on Gillette businesses and on assigning the right Gillette and P&G people to critical roles. We've had excellent success ensuring leadership continuity on the Gillette businesses. Gillette CEO Jim Kilts will run the new Blades/Razor, Duracell, and Braun global business unit, and the vast majority of his leadership team has committed to join P&G. We've focused initially on continuity at the leadership level, but we are committed to retaining top Gillette talent at every level. We're approaching this with the same mindset and capability we bring to our recruiting efforts at top universities and business schools: P&G leaders are personally involved; we have an extensive on-boarding program tailored to the needs of each individual; and we're tracking results to ensure we deliver retention and continuity goals. We're COMBINING Gillette's and P&G's HEALTHY BRAND FRANCHISES and CORE STRENGTHS. We're coming together when there are abundant OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH. [17 LOGO] P & G BILLION DOLLAR BRANDS are platforms for innovation. They are global leaders. Consumers want them in their homes. Retailers want them in their stores. They enable us to bring innovation to consumers around the world effectively, efficiently, and profitably. They make consumers' lives a little better, every day. A.G.

Top 10 P&G Beauty Brands (Net Sales) [LOGO] P&G BEAUTY FISCAL YEAR 2005 RESULTS P&G Beauty delivered its third consecutive year of double-digit growth in volume, sales, and profit. Volume increased 12%, sales increased 14%, and net earnings increased 22%. This industry leading performance was driven mainly by broad-based organic growth across geographies and brands. Each of our top 10 countries delivered higher sales than a year ago, with solid gains in both developed and developing markets. Global market shares continue to grow, with most of our leading brands at record highs. Each of our billion-dollar brands - five in total - grew sales and market share. Pantene, the world's leading hair care brand with over $2 billion in sales and over 10% global share, posted 13% volume growth. Head & Shoulders, the world's second-largest shampoo brand, grew volume 15%, achieving record global market share of nearly 10%. Olay, one of P&G's fastest growing billion-dollar brands, grew global volume nearly 30%, driven by continued momentum of the Regenerist and Total Effects lines, and new innovations like Olay Quench, a hand and body moisturizing treatment with superior skin benefits. Always, the world's leading feminine care brand, grew volume by 11% and reached record-high global market share of 22%. In addition, the Prestige and Professional business posted strong top-line gains with global sales up double digits. P&G Beauty also has a strong stable of potential billion-dollar brands with sales in the range of $500 million to $1 billion which are driving growth. Hugo Boss, along with Lacoste - which is now 10 times bigger than when we acquired the license in 2001 - further strengthened our global leadership position in men's fine fragrances. SK-II, our prestige skin care brand, grew volume 13% behind innovations such as De-Wrinkle Essence and Facial Lift Emulsion. With these many successes, we also face some challenges. Our growth last year in U.S. Hair Care did not meet our high expectations, and we are pruning underperforming brands. In hair colorants, we are still rebuilding our innovation pipeline. We compete against outstanding companies with long histories in beauty, and we never underestimate their ability to innovate and attract the attention of consumers. 2005 was a very good year, and we are prepared for the challenges of 2006. [PICTURE] [PHOTO OF SUSAN E. ARNOLD] Vice Chairman P&G Beauty WHAT'S WORKING P&G Beauty has become one of the leading beauty companies in the world. Beauty is an attractive business with relatively high margins and low capital costs compared to most other consumer goods segments. It's a large and fragmented market with clear opportunity to build share and grow sales. And, it's responsive to consumer driven innovation and branding. Beauty is a natural fit for P&G. P&G Beauty is focused on delivering consumer understanding that reaches beyond functional needs to connect at a deeper emotional level. We are leading innovation that goes beyond science to include sophisticated design that creates a total beauty experience and delights consumers. In addition, we are driving cost reduction by leveraging scale and eliminating inefficiencies, so we can fully support innovation and offer superior consumer value while building margin year-on-year, a balanced approach to sustain top- and bottom-line growth. These focus areas allow us to meet an ever broader spectrum of consumer needs. For example, our new Pantene Color Expressions shampoo helps colored hair retain its vibrance and shine. Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-Up gives women an easy way to replace color at the root line with the exact shade they want. Olay Quench uses proprietary ingredients to deliver a non-greasy Amino Vitamin formula that is drawn into the skin to repair it and leave it naturally radiant. Naturella feminine care products with chamomile are skin-friendly, responding to consumers' desire for freshness. Innovations like these, built from deep understanding of consumers' needs and aspirations, are growing our P&G Beauty business in every region of the world. We continue, as well, to complement organic innovation with strategic acquisitions and licensing arrangements. The Clairol and Wella acquisitions have expanded our portfolio to colorants and to professional hair care. They've extended our hair care, styling, and fragrance portfolios, as have license agreements with classic fashion brands such as Valentino and Lacoste. In addition to expanding our portfolio, these acquisitions have built our capabilities to connect with consumers, to innovate, to commercialize, and to win in Beauty. P&G Beauty is building upon the Company's core strengths, and developing complementary skills, to create winning Beauty-specific capabilities. As the fastest growing global beauty business last year, we are well on our way to becoming the most innovative and in-touch beauty company in the world. P&G Beauty delivered its third consecutive year of double-digit growth in volume, sales, and profit. [MAP] Prilosec OTC market share reached 35% of the U.S. heartburn treatment segment.

Top 10 P&G Family Health Brands (Net Sales) [LOGO] P&G FAMILY HEALTH FISCAL YEAR 2005 RESULTS P&G Family Health delivered a strong year of volume, sales, and profit growth. Unit volume grew 8%, net sales grew 11%, and net earnings increased 18%. The growth has been broad-based across the portfolio of leading brands. Six of P&G's 17 billion-dollar brands are in Family Health - Pampers, Crest, Bounty, Charmin, Iams, and Actonel - and Vicks and Prilosec OTC are in the next tier of brands with annual sales between $500 million and $1 billion. All eight of these brands delivered solid global volume growth in fiscal year 2005. Baby Care and Family Care led the way with combined sales up 11% and profits up 28%. Baby Care continued to extend its global leadership with global market share of 37% behind sound product initiatives, holistic marketing, and expanded product offerings to lower-income consumers. Pampers also launched Kandoo children's personal care products in North America and expanded the lineup in Western Europe, further extending the franchise from babies to younger children. Family Care made strong progress behind its Bounty, Charmin, Puffs, and Tempo brands in all regions where we operate. In the core market of the U.S., Family Care market share rose to over 30%. In addition, Baby Care and Family Care have successfully executed price increases to offset higher commodity costs, which also helped year-on-year profit growth. In Health Care, sales were up 11% and profits up 8%. Pharmaceuticals and Personal Health Care led the way with excellent growth on Actonel and Prilosec OTC. Actonel has now achieved a 33% global share of bisphosphonates in the fast-growing osteoporosis market. Prilosec OTC achieved a U.S. share of 35%. Oral Care delivered modest volume growth, despite aggressive competitive activity and contraction of the tooth-whitening market, based on strong performance in China and Russia on the Crest and Blend-a-Med brands. In the U.S., Crest extended its franchise into oral rinses with the launch of Crest Pro-Health Rinse, a no-alcohol formula that kills germs that cause plaque and gingivitis without the burn of alcohol. Pet Health & Nutrition posted solid top-line results, led by growth in North America and Japan. Iams is now the single largest pet care brand in the U.S. WHAT'S WORKING We have sharpened our focus on keeping families healthy for life. We do this by delighting consumers with better performing products that represent good value for the money. We have strengthened our capability to execute commercial and technical innovation with holistic marketing plans that resonate at every consumer touchpoint. Innovative products like Crest Pro-Health Rinse, Pampers Feel'n Learn Advanced Training Pants, Actonel with Calcium, and Iams Savory Sauces offer a continuing stream of new benefits. Prilosec OTC, which brought one of the biggest prescription medicines to consumers for treating frequent heartburn at an affordable price over-the-counter, continues to grow quickly. At the same time, we are launching new products that delight lower-income consumers - like Vicks Honey Cough Syrup in Brazil, Pampers Baby Basics in China, Blendax toothpaste in Russia, and Bounty Basic and Charmin Basic in the United States. The Pampers Feel'n Learn launch showcased our ability to bond with parents via well-executed holistic marketing plans. We quickly built awareness and trial of Feel'n Learn by surrounding parents with TV advertising, on-line potty training kits, media coverage, and in-store displays containing consistent and compelling images and messages. Parents couldn't miss the news of the unique way Feel'n Learn helps empower toddlers to master the challenge of potty training. In addition, we've continued our relentless focus on cost reduction, cash generation, and operational discipline. To meet the needs of the world's consumers and win the competitive value equation, we know we need to have best-in-class structural costs. We are focusing on tight control of capital spending, improved inventory control, and lower product and manufacturing costs through standardized manufacturing platforms, localized raw materials supply, and utilizing contract manufacturing where possible. And when necessary, we are raising prices to offset commodity cost increases. As we look forward, we are guided by a common vision for P&G Family Health - to keep families healthy for life. We know our target consumer - women who play a key role in the health of their families, from newborns to seniors, in developed and developing markets. We will continue to leverage P&G's unique combination of technologies and capabilities and continue to connect with external partners to offer more brands, innovation, and value to improve family health everywhere.

Top 10 P&G Household Care Brands (Net Sales) P&G HOUSEHOLD CARE FISCAL YEAR 2005 RESULTS P&G Household Care is part of P&G's strong business foundation, representing about one-third of the Company's sales and earnings, and contributing some of the highest margins in the Company. In 2005, P&G Household Care results reflect the challenging environments in which many of our businesses operate. Volume was up 8% and sales up 10%. Top-line growth was broad-based across the leading Household Care brands. They include six of the Company's billion-dollar brands - Tide, Ariel, Downy, Pringles, Folgers, and P&G's newest billion-dollar brand, Dawn. Each of these brands posted solid volume growth for the year, led by Tide and Downy, which both grew double-digits. Profit was up modestly versus the prior year as the benefits from strong top-line growth were largely offset by high commodity costs in our largest businesses. In the Coffee business, we have been successful in pricing to cover green coffee bean cost increases. In Fabric Care and Home Care, we have increased our list prices in markets where the competitive environment would allow. However, the benefits from the price increases began to impact our results late in the fiscal year and only partially offset higher materials costs. In addition, we have implemented many new internal cost savings programs in all areas of the business to help reduce the need to raise consumer prices for our brands. These challenges and our hard work to address them will continue into fiscal year 2006. WHAT'S WORKING Our P&G Household Care mission is to make the everyday lives of the world's consumers a little brighter and help them create a home they love. We do this by understanding consumers' needs and then providing them with innovations at an outstanding value. The concept is simple - executing it is the hard part. And when we execute well, consumers reward us with higher volume, sales, and market share results. As the global market leader in Fabric Care, we introduced Tide with a touch of Downy, Tide Coldwater and Downy Simple Pleasures in developed markets during the year. And we grew our Fabric Care business in developing markets, particularly Russia and China, by designing unique product formulations to meet the needs of consumers across more pricing tiers than ever before. Home Care continued to drive top-line growth for P&G, as our key brands expanded into new product areas. We expanded Febreze from the fabric spray market into the air freshener segment with Febreze Air Effects. We expanded Swiffer Duster into Western Europe and will soon expand into a new usage occasion in North America, with Swiffer Carpet Flick. In Snacks, our unique Pringles production capabilities are enabling us to deliver innovation such as Pringles Prints, which are fun for consumers and allow us to offer retailers customized products for their stores. Also, consumers continue to enjoy the variety offered by Pringles' steady stream of new flavors. In Coffee, Folgers continues to be the clear market leader in the U.S., at 32% share. And with innovations such as our Home Cafe single-serving pod brewer, we are expanding into high-value areas of the coffee market that offer consumers more convenience and a great brew. As we look forward, we know a combination of strong innovation, rigorous cost controls, and pricing to offset increased commodity costs is required for continued steady, profitable growth. The necessity of delivering consumer-relevant innovation at a great value has never been more important given heightened promotional activity by competitors and the need to distinguish P&G brands from those that compete on the basis of low price. Consumers who shop at all price points have high product performance expectations. We are focusing on optimizing our cost structure and developing low-cost activity systems to support the long-term health of our brands and our industry leading margins. While these actions were not enough to fully offset higher commodity costs in 2005, our continued focus on these critical factors will enable us to return to steady profit growth over time and emerge even better able to help consumers create a home they love.

GLOBAL OPERATIONS FISCAL YEAR 2005 RESULTS Our focus on delighting the world's consumers and winning at the First Moment of Truth, when consumers choose our brands in-store, has again delivered strong results in fiscal year 2005. P&G's global organic volume grew 8%. In developed markets, P&G continued its steady momentum with mid-single-digit organic volume growth. Developing markets, which accounted for about 23% of P&G's sales in fiscal 2005, posted the third consecutive year of mid-teens or greater volume growth. The growth was also well balanced across P&G's leading brands, countries, and customers. P&G grew volume on all of its top 16 global brands and countries, and grew market share in eight of the top 10 customers. Also, P&G's Global Business Services (GBS) organization continued to provide world-class services at substantial cost savings. WHAT'S WORKING Global Operations brings together P&G's Supply Chain, Market Development, and Global Business Services operations. Our challenge is to leverage P&G's scale and leading portfolio of brands to profitably grow the business by delivering best-in-class consumer and shopper understanding, customer relationships, and highest-quality, lowest-cost supply chain and business services infrastructure. The keys to our success include: Creating and Reapplying Winning Go-to-Market Strategies. We leverage local consumer, shopper, and retail customer insights to build integrated cross-business unit plans with customers and create efficiencies across the breadth of P&G's businesses as we go to market. We then leverage P&G's global scale to reapply success models quickly around the world. For example, our learning from SK-II store counters in Asia has been designed into our Olay launch in Spain with great results; and the Naturella feminine care brand, originally developed in Latin America, is now being rolled out in Central and Eastern Europe. Winning the Value Equation with All Consumers. We continue to enrich our understanding of the world's consumers and find new ways to expand our consumer base. An example is value-conscious consumers. By better understanding their needs and driving product innovation specifically designed to delight them - on both product performance and cost - brands like Always, Crest, and Tide are now appealing to a much larger consumer base than ever before. In addition, P&G has rapidly increased its presence in high-frequency stores (HFS), the small neighborhood stores which serve about 80% of consumers in the developing world. We have grown HFS volume 50% in the last four years, and if consolidated globally, HFS would be P&G's largest customer. Winning by Jointly Creating Value with Our Customers. We partner with winning retailers to jointly create value through in-depth shopper and supply chain understanding. By partnering together, we create plans that often add two or more points of sales growth versus the average. Examples of these activities include in-store solutions that improve the shopping experience, targeted marketing programs that leverage our shopper knowledge, and supply chain optimization projects that improve the availability of our products on the shelf. Building P&G Beauty and Health Capability. In every region around the world, we are building our Beauty and Health go-to-market capability. We are providing more dedicated people to support our retail partners to enhance programs that are uniquely important to these businesses, such as in-store marketing to build trial and awareness of new innovations. In addition, we are strengthening capabilities to reach professionals in the Hair Styling, Oral Care, and Pet Health businesses - thought leaders and trendsetters in their industries. Leverage P&G's Best-in-Class Global Business Services Organization. GBS provides P&G with an often-unseen competitive advantage. GBS combines information management and analysis capabilities to take P&G's use of information to a far more strategic level. These efforts help P&G's Market Development Organizations and Global Business Units make better, smarter, real-time business decisions. Looking forward, the proposed acquisition of Gillette will provide P&G Global Operations with an exciting and challenging year ahead. The outstanding Global Operations capabilities outlined above will be key enablers for the successful integration of Gillette's brands, people, go-to-market plans, and business services needs. These strong capabilities also give us confidence that P&G can continue to grow its base business, improve its cost structure and delight more of the world's consumers while executing the Gillette integration with excellence.

[PICTURE] 22 THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING At Procter & Gamble, we take great pride in our long history of doing what's right. If you analyze what's made our Company successful over the years, you may focus on our brands, our marketing strategies, our organization design and our ability to innovate. But if you really want to get at what drives our Company's success, the place to look is our people. Our people are deeply committed to our Purpose, Values and Principles. It is this commitment to doing what's right that unites us. This commitment to doing what's right is embodied in our financial reporting. High quality financial reporting is our responsibility - one we execute with integrity and within both the letter and spirit of the law. High quality financial reporting is characterized by accuracy, objectivity and transparency. Management is responsible for maintaining an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting to deliver those characteristics in all material respects. The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, provides oversight. They have engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP to audit our consolidated financial statements, on which they have issued an unqualified opinion. Our commitment to providing timely, accurate and understandable information to investors encompasses: Communicating expectations to employees. Every employee - from senior management on down - is trained on the Company's "Worldwide Business Conduct Manual," which sets forth the Company's commitment to conduct its business affairs with high ethical standards. Every employee is held personally accountable for compliance and is provided several means of reporting any concerns about violations of the Worldwide Business Conduct Manual. The Worldwide Business Conduct Manual is available on our website at www.pg.com. Maintaining a strong internal control environment. Our system of internal controls includes written policies and procedures, segregation of duties and the careful selection and development of employees. The system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed as authorized and appropriately recorded, that assets are safeguarded and that accounting records are sufficiently reliable to permit the preparation of financial statements conforming in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We monitor these internal controls through control self assessments by business unit management. In addition to performing financial and compliance audits around the world, including unannounced audits, our Global Internal Audit organization provides training and continuously improves internal control processes. Appropriate actions are taken by management to correct any identified control deficiencies. Executing financial stewardship. We maintain specific programs and activities to ensure that employees understand their fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders. This ongoing effort encompasses financial discipline in strategic and daily business decisions and brings particular focus to maintaining accurate financial reporting and effective controls through process improvement, skill development and oversight. Exerting rigorous oversight of the business. We continuously review business results and strategic choices. Our Global Leadership Council is actively involved - from understanding strategies to reviewing key initiatives, financial performance and control assessments. The intent is to ensure we remain objective, identify potential issues, continuously challenge each other and ensure recognition and rewards are appropriately aligned with results. Engaging our Disclosure Committee. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported timely and accurately. Our Disclosure Committee is a group of senior-level executives responsible for evaluating disclosure implications of significant business activities and events. The Committee reports its findings to the CEO and CFO, providing an effective process to evaluate our external disclosure obligations. Encouraging strong and effective corporate governance from our Board of Directors. We have an active, capable and diligent Board that meets the required standards for independence, and we welcome the Board's oversight. Our Audit Committee comprises independent directors with significant financial knowledge and experience. We review significant accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control matters with them and encourage their independent discussions with external auditors. Our corporate governance guidelines, as well as the charter of the Audit Committee and certain other committees of our Board, are available on our website at www.pg.com. P&G has a strong history of doing what's right. Our employees embrace our Purpose, Values and Principles. We take responsibility for the quality and accuracy of our financial reporting. We present this information proudly, with the expectation that those who use it will understand our Company, recognize our commitment to performance with integrity and share our confidence in P&G's future. /s/ A.G. Lafley /s/ Clayton C. Daley, Jr. A.G. Lafley Clayton C. Daley, Jr. Chairman of the Board, Chief Financial Officer President and Chief Executive The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 23 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of The Procter & Gamble Company (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. We expect each employee to be accountable for ensuring strong internal controls. This objective is reinforced through our Worldwide Business Conduct Manual, which sets forth our commitment to conduct business with integrity and within both the letter and the spirit of the law. Our internal control system, which is supported with written policies and procedures, contains a Control Self Assessment Program conducted annually by substantially all areas of the Company and is audited by the internal audit function. Appropriate actions are taken by management to correct any identified control deficiencies. Because of its inherent limitations, any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements due to the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden or that misstatements due to error or fraud may occur that are not detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005 using criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005 based on these criteria. Our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, as well as our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in the report which is included herein. /s/ A.G. Lafley /s/ Clayton C. Daley, Jr. A.G. Lafley Clayton C. Daley, Jr. Chairman of the Board, Chief Financial Officer President and Chief Executive August 9, 2005 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM [DELOITTE LOGO] To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Procter & Gamble Company We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 9, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Cincinnati, Ohio August 9, 2005 24 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM [DELOITTE LOGO] To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Procter & Gamble Company We have audited management's assessment, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2005 of the Company and our report dated August 9, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The purpose of this discussion is to provide an understanding of P&G's financial results and condition by focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year. Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is organized in the following sections: - - Overview of the Company and summary of results for the fiscal year - - Results of operations - - Segment results - - Financial condition - - Significant accounting policies and estimates - - Other information Throughout MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance including unit volume growth, net outside sales and after-tax profit. We also refer to organic sales growth (net sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange), free cash flow and free cash flow productivity, which are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The explanation of these measures at the end of MD&A provides more details. Management also uses certain market share estimates to evaluate performance relative to competition - despite limitations on the availability and comparability of share information. References to market share in MD&A are based on a combination of vendor-reported consumption and market size data, as well as internal estimates. OVERVIEW P&G's business is focused on providing branded products of superior quality and value to improve the lives of the world's consumers. We believe this will result in leadership sales, profits and value creation, allowing employees, shareholders and the communities in which we operate to prosper. Procter & Gamble markets over 300 branded products in more than 160 countries. We have operations in over 80 countries through our Market Development Organization (MDO). The MDO includes dedicated retail customer, trade channel and country-specific teams that work to build our brands in local markets. It is organized along seven geographic areas: North America, Western Europe, Northeast Asia, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa, Greater China and ASEAN/Australasia/India. Throughout MD&A, we reference business results in developing markets, which we define as the aggregate of Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa, Greater China and ASEAN/Australasia/India. Our products are sold primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores and drug stores. We have also expanded our presence in "high frequency stores," the neighborhood stores which serve many consumers in developing markets. We compete in multiple product categories and have three Global Business Units (GBUs): P&G Beauty, P&G Family Health and P&G Household Care. We manage and report business and financial results on this basis. Each GBU and the MDO is led by a Vice Chair, all of whom report to the Chief Executive Officer. In July, 2005 we changed the names of the GBUs. Beauty Care was renamed P&G Beauty; Health, Baby & Family Care changed to P&G Family Health; and Household Care was renamed P&G Household Care. These changes have no impact on the composition or historical results of the GBUs. The following charts provide net sales and net earnings by GBU as a percentage of total Company results, excluding net sales and earnings held in Corporate, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Please see the discussion on Corporate in the Segment Results discussion and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. 26 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 2005 Net Sales (by GBU) [PIE CHART] P&G Beauty 34% P&G Family Health 34% P&G Household Care 32%

Strategic Focus P&G is focused on strategies that we believe are right for the long-term health of the Company and that will increase returns for our shareholders. The Company's financial targets are (excluding the impacts of the pending Gillette acquisition): - - Sales growth of 4% to 6% excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates from year-over-year comparisons. On average, we expect approximately 2% of sales growth to come from market growth; 1% to 3% from the combination of market share growth, expansion to new geographies and new business creation; and the remaining 1% to come from smaller, "tack-on" acquisitions to access markets or complement current business portfolios. - - Diluted net earnings per share growth of 10% or better. - - Free cash flow productivity of 90% or greater (defined as the ratio of operating cash flow less capital expenditures divided by net earnings). In order to achieve these targets, we focus on our core strengths of branding, innovation, go-to-market capability and scale against the following growth areas: - - Driving our core businesses of Baby Care, Fabric Care, Feminine Care and Hair Care into stronger global leadership positions. - - Growing our leading brands in our biggest markets with our largest customers. - - Investing in faster-growing businesses with higher gross margins that are less asset-intensive, primarily in the Beauty and Health Care businesses. - - Building on opportunities in select developing markets and with lower-income consumers. Sustainability To sustain consistent and reliable sales and earnings growth in line with our financial targets, we have identified four key enablers: - - Building a diversified and balanced portfolio consisting of foundation businesses and higher growth businesses. Foundation businesses include many of our established product categories - Fabric Care, Home Care, Baby Care, Family Care, Snacks and Coffee. These businesses provide a base for steady growth, strong operating cash flows and an excellent training ground for future leaders. We are focused on expanding these categories through innovative products, offering our brands in more parts of the world and tailoring our products to meet the needs of more consumers (including lower-income consumers). To complement the steady growth of foundation businesses, we are expanding our portfolio of Beauty and Health brands. These businesses generally have higher gross margins and lower capital requirements than the balance of the Company's portfolio. Over the past several years, we have increased the size of our Beauty and Health businesses by growing base brands and through acquisitions, including Clairol in 2002 and Wella in 2004. Both of these acquisitions expanded our presence in the retail and professional hair care categories. In January of 2005, we announced our agreement to acquire The Gillette Company, which will further expand our portfolio of Beauty and Health brands. Gillette is a leader in several global product categories including blades and razors, oral care and batteries. Pending regulatory approval, we expect this acquisition to close in Fall of 2005. We expect our portfolio of Beauty and Health brands to continue to provide a disproportionate percentage of growth for the Company. - - Investing in innovation and capability to reach more of the world's consumers with quality, affordable products. This includes expanding our presence in markets and reaching more consumers where we are under-represented including lower-income and value-conscious consumers. - - Leveraging the Company's organizational structure to drive clear focus, accountability and improved go-to-market capability. We have an organizational structure that works together to leverage our knowledge and scale at the global level with a deep understanding of the consumer and customer at the local level. - - The GBUs leverage their consumer understanding to develop the overall strategy for our brands. They identify common consumer needs, develop new products and build our brands through effective marketing innovations. - - The MDO develops go-to-market plans at the local level, leveraging their understanding of the local consumer and customer. The MDO is focused on winning the "first moment of truth" - when a consumer stands in front of the shelf and chooses a product from The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 27 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS among many competitive offerings. The GBU is focused on winning the "second moment of truth" - when the consumer uses the product and evaluates how well the product meets his or her expectations. - Global Business Services (GBS) operates as the "back office" for the GBU and MDO organizations, providing world-class technology, processes and standard data tools to better understand the business and better serve consumers and customers. GBS personnel or highly efficient and effective third party partners provide these services. - - Focusing relentlessly to improve costs and generate cash. Each GBU is evaluated on their ability to support the Company's financial goals. This includes an evaluation of net sales growth, earnings growth and profit margin expansion. GBUs are also evaluated on their ability to generate cash, for example, by increasing capacity utilization and meeting capital spending targets. Summary of 2005 Results For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we delivered our fourth consecutive year of sales growth, earnings per share growth and free cash flow productivity at or above our targets. - - Net sales increased 10%. Net sales increased 8% excluding the impact of foreign exchange - above our target of 4% to 6%. Organic sales, which excludes the impacts of acquisition, divestitures and foreign exchange, also increased 8%. - Every GBU delivered volume growth rates of high-single digits or greater. Within the MDO, every geographic region posted volume growth, led by developing markets up high-teens. - We increased our overall market share in categories representing approximately two-thirds of the Company's net sales. We increased market share in each of our core businesses of Baby Care, Fabric Care, Feminine Care and Hair Care. - - Diluted net earnings per share increased 15% due primarily to volume growth. - - Cash flow from operating activities was $8.72 billion. Free cash flow productivity was in-line with our target of 90%. Market Overview and Challenges Our market environment is highly competitive, with both global and local competitors. In many of the markets and industry segments in which we sell our products, we compete against other branded products, as well as retailer and private-label brands. Additionally, many of the product segments in which we compete are differentiated by price (referred to as premium, mid-tier and value-tier products). Generally speaking, we compete with premium and mid-tier products and are well positioned in the industry segments and markets in which we operate - often holding a leadership or significant share position. P&G Beauty. We compete in several categories of the beauty market including Retail and Professional Hair Care, Skin Care, Feminine Care, Cosmetics, Fine Fragrances and Personal Cleansing. The beauty markets in which we compete comprise approximately $200 billion in global retail sales, resulting in our overall share position of about 10%. We are the global market leader in Hair Care, one of our core businesses, with approximately a 24% share of the global market. We are also the global market leader in the Feminine Care category, another core business, with approximately a 36% share of the market. Billion-dollar brands in P&G Beauty include Pantene, Wella, Olay, Always and Head & Shoulders. P&G Family Health. In P&G Family Health, we compete in several distinct health care product categories including Oral Care, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Health and Pet Health and Nutrition. In Oral Care, there are several global competitors in the market, of which we have the number two share position. Our Pharmaceuticals business has approximately 33% of the global bisphosphonates market for the treatment of osteoporosis under the Actonel brand. Actonel, along with Crest and Iams, each have annual sales over one billion dollars. Baby Care and Family Care compete primarily in the Diapers, Baby Wipes, Bath Tissue and Kitchen Towel categories. Baby Care is one of our core businesses with a global share of approximately 37% of the market behind the strength of Pampers, with annual sales in excess of $6 billion. The markets in which we compete generally include two to three global companies, as well as local competitors and retailer brands. Family Care is predominantly a North American business. The Bounty and Charmin brands, with approximately a 43% and 27% market share in the United States, respectively, each have annual sales over one billion dollars. P&G Household Care. In P&G Household Care, the Fabric Care and Home Care businesses operate in a global market containing numerous brands in each geography. We generally have the number one or number two share position in the markets in which we compete, with particular strength in North America and Europe. Fabric Care is one of our core businesses and we are the global market leader with approximately a 32% share. Home Care competes in the Dish Care, Surface Care and Air Care product categories. Four of our billion-dollar brands are part of the Fabric Care and Home Care businesses: Tide, Ariel, Downy and Dawn. In Snacks and Coffee, we compete primarily in two industry categories: Salted Snacks and Coffee. In Salted Snacks, we compete against both global and local companies. One global company dominates the category. In Coffee, we hold a leadership position of the brands sold predominantly through grocery, mass merchandise and club 28 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS membership stores in the U.S. Two of our billion-dollar brands are in Snacks and Coffee - Pringles and Folgers. Forward-Looking Statements We discuss expectations regarding future performance, events and outcomes, such as our business outlook and objectives, in annual and quarterly reports, press releases and other written and oral communications. All statements, except for historical and present factual information, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Security Litigation Reform Act, and are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our business plans. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could be significantly different from our expectations. Ability to Achieve Business Plans. We are a consumer products company and rely on continued demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers and retail trade customers. Our continued success is dependent on leading-edge innovation, with respect to both products and operations. This means we must be able to obtain patents and respond to technological advances and patents granted to competition. Our success is also dependent on effective sales, advertising and marketing programs in an increasingly fragmented media environment. Our ability to innovate and execute in these areas will determine the extent to which we are able to grow existing sales and volume profitably despite high levels of competitive activity, especially with respect to the product categories and geographic markets (including developing markets) in which we have chosen to focus. There continues to be competitive product and pricing pressures in the environments in which we operate, as well as challenges in maintaining profit margins. To address these challenges, we must respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives and trade terms for products. We must manage each of these factors, as well as maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers, in order to effectively compete and achieve our business plans. Since our goals include a growth component tied to acquisitions, we must manage and integrate key acquisitions, such as the Wella acquisition and the pending acquisition of The Gillette Company, including obtaining the required regulatory approvals and achieving the cost and growth synergies in accordance with stated goals. Cost Pressures. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, cost of labor, foreign exchange and interest rates. Our costs in 2005 were impacted by sharply higher commodity costs and we expect this trend to continue in 2006. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, sourcing decisions and certain hedging transactions. We also must manage currency, especially in volatile countries, and debt, including debt related to our announced plan to repurchase shares of Company common stock. In the manufacturing and general overhead areas, we need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements. We must also implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including our outsourcing projects. Global Economic Conditions. Economic changes, terrorist activity and political unrest may result in business interruption, inflation, deflation or decreased demand for our products. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage continued global political and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographical markets, as well as any political or economic disruption due to terrorist and other hostile activities. Regulatory Environment. Changes in laws, regulations and the related interpretations may alter the environment in which we do business. This includes changes in environmental, competitive and product-related laws, as well as changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements. Accordingly, our ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters and to resolve pending matters within current estimates may impact our results. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Volume and Net Sales Unit volume in 2005 increased 8%. Each of our three GBUs delivered volume growth rates of high-single digits or greater led by P&G Beauty, up 12%. Every one of our geographic-based MDOs posted volume growth, led by developing markets with high-teens volume growth. Organic volume, which excludes the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, also increased 8%. Additional volume from the acquisition of Wella, which was acquired in September of 2003, was offset by the divestiture of the Juice business in August of 2004. The increase in volume versus the prior year was driven by: - - High single-digit growth of our "billion-dollar brand" portfolio, which represents approximately 60% of total Company volume; - - Growth in each of our top 16 countries, representing approximately 80% of total Company net sales; - - Market share growth in eight of our top 10 customers; and - - Continued strength in developing markets, particularly Greater China and Central and Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa. Net sales reached a record level of $56.74 billion, an increase of 10% versus the prior year. Foreign exchange contributed 2% to net sales growth, primarily driven by the strength of the Euro, British pound and Japanese yen. Higher relative growth in developing markets, where the average unit sales price is lower than the Company average, resulted in a negative mix impact of 1% on net sales growth. Pricing added 1% to sales growth. Price increases in Family Care, Pet Health and Nutrition, Pharmaceuticals, Coffee and in certain Fabric Care markets were partially offset by price investments taken primarily in Europe to address the growth of hard discounters and in response to competitive activity in certain Fabric Care and Baby Care markets. Net sales excluding foreign The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 29 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS exchange increased 8%, well above the Company's target. Organic sales, which exclude the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange, also increased 8%. Net Sales (in billions of dollars) 2003 43.4 2004 51.4 2005 56.7
[PIE CHART] Geographic Sales Split (FY 2005 Net Sales) North America 48% Western Europe 24% Northeast Asia 5% Developing Geographies 23%
In 2004, unit volume increased 17%, with all GBUs and geographic regions achieving unit volume growth. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, primarily Wella, unit volume for the Company increased 10%. Net sales were $51.41 billion in 2004, an increase of 19% compared to 2003. Organic sales increased 8%, well above the Company's target. Net sales increased behind volume growth, including the addition of Wella, and a positive foreign exchange impact of 4% due primarily to the strengthening of the Euro, British pound and Canadian dollar. Product mix reduced sales growth by 1%, reflecting higher growth in developing markets, including Greater China and Latin America, which generally have an average unit sales price lower than the Company average. Pricing adjustments reduced sales growth by 1% as we sharpened Family Care and Coffee category pricing to remain competitive on shelf and reduced prices to improve consumer value and stimulate growth in selected product categories, including Fabric Care and Feminine Care. Operating Costs Gross margin in 2005 was 51.0%, a decrease of 20 basis points compared with the prior year. Higher commodity costs reduced gross margin by over 100 basis points. We were able to offset approximately half of this impact through the scale benefits of volume growth, with additional offset coming from supply chain savings and pricing. Price increases to recover commodity costs were taken in Family Care, Pet Health and Nutrition, Coffee and certain Fabric Care markets. Gross margin also contracted due to strong growth in developing markets. Gross margin in developing markets is generally lower than the Company average. Additionally, the sale of the Juice business in August of 2004 provided a positive impact to gross margin, as the Juice business had a lower gross margin than the Company average. In 2004, gross margin was 51.2%, an increase of 220 basis points versus the previous year. Charges for the restructuring program that was substantially completed in 2003 accounted for 80 basis points of the improvement. Of the remaining gross margin expansion, approximately 90 basis points were driven by the scale benefit of increased volume and 40 basis points were due to the addition of Wella, which has a higher gross margin than the balance of the Company. Supply chain savings and favorable product mix benefits were offset by the impact of higher commodity costs and pricing actions. Gross Margin Progress (% of sales) 2003 49.0 2004 51.2 2005 51.0

30 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Selling, General and Administrative expense (SG&A) in 2005 was 31.7% of net sales, an improvement of 40 basis points compared to 2004. The basis point reduction in SG&A was driven by lower marketing spending as a percentage of net sales. Absolute spending for marketing investments was up year-over-year, but decreased as a percentage of net sales behind scale leverage and the mix impact of developing market growth. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales is lower in developing markets than the Company average. Marketing spending increased to support product innovations including Olay Anti-Aging, Olay Moisturinse, Olay Quench, Pantene Pro-Health, Tide with a Touch of Downy, Tide Coldwater, Febreze Air Effects, Pantene Color Expressions, Pampers Feel 'n Learn, Kandoo Toddler Wipes and Handsoap and the expansion of SK-II, Lenor and Herbal Essences. Overhead spending as a percentage of net sales was consistent with last year. Scale efficiencies in the base business were offset by the mix impact of two additional months of Wella in the current year and investments in selling capability. Wella has a higher ratio of overhead spending to net sales than the balance of the Company. Minority interest expense as a percentage of net sales decreased reflecting the Company's purchase of the remaining stake in its China venture, as well as the completion of the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement with Wella. Please see the discussion of these transactions in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. SG&A in 2004 was 32.1% of net sales, an increase of 120 basis points compared to the previous year. The majority of the basis point increase was due to Wella, reflecting a higher ratio of SG&A expense to net sales than the base business. Reduced restructuring program charges in the prior year, that accounted for an improvement of 90 basis points, were more than offset by increases in marketing spending in 2004. Marketing investments were made behind product launches including Prilosec OTC, Crest Whitestrips Premium and Olay Regenerist, as well as continued support for the base business. Selling, General and Administrative Expense (% of sales) 2003 30.9 2004 32.1 2005 31.7
Non-Operating Items Non-operating items primarily include interest expense, divestiture gains and losses and interest and investment income. Interest expense increased 33% to $834 million in 2005 due to higher debt balances to finance share repurchases, as well as an increase in interest rates versus the prior year. In 2004, interest expense increased $68 million to $629 million, primarily due to additional debt to support the acquisition of Wella. Other non-operating income was $346 million in 2005 compared to $152 million in 2004 and $238 million in 2003. The increase in 2005 was driven primarily by the before-tax gain on the sale of the Juice business. The sale of the Juice business was essentially neutral to overall earnings, as the non-operating gain from the sale was largely offset by the loss of operating income. In 2004, other non-operating income declined primarily due to higher gains from divestitures in the base period. The effective income tax rate was 30.5% in 2005 compared with 30.7% in 2004 and 31.1% in 2003. The fiscal 2005 effective tax rate includes a 280 basis point impact for estimated taxes in anticipation of repatriating approximately $7.2 billion in special dividends from the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries, pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (see Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements). This charge was largely offset by a 230 basis point impact from the reversal of tax provisions resulting from the successful resolution of tax audits in certain countries. The effective tax rate also benefited from the overall country mix of taxable income. Net Earnings In 2005, net earnings increased 12% to $7.26 billion. Earnings grew primarily behind volume and cost reduction efforts, which more than offset the effects of higher commodity costs and increased marketing spending in support of product innovations and the base business. Net earnings margin increased 20 basis points to 12.8% reflecting the scale benefits from higher volume and improvements due to cost savings. Net earnings in 2004 increased 25% over the prior year. Earnings growth was primarily driven by increased volume and the completion of the Company's Organization 2005 Restructuring Program. Improvements to earnings from gross margin expansion were partially offset by increased marketing spending to support product initiatives and base business growth. The acquisition of Wella had no material impact on earnings in 2004. 2003 results include $538 million of after-tax charges related to the Company's Organization 2005 Restructuring Program, which represents approximately 10% of the 2004 earnings growth. These charges covered enrollment reductions, manufacturing consolidations and portfolio choices to scale back or discontinue under-performing businesses and initiatives. The restructuring program was substantially completed in 2003. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 31 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS In 2005, diluted net earnings per share were $2.66, an increase of 15% compared to the prior year. Our target is 10% or better earnings per share growth. Diluted net earnings per share grew ahead of net earnings due to the Company's share repurchase activity. Diluted net earnings per share were $2.32 in 2004 and $1.85 in 2003. Diluted net earnings per share in 2003 included restructuring program impacts of $0.19. Diluted Net Earnings (per common share) 2003 1.85 2004 2.32 2005 2.66
SEGMENT RESULTS Results for the segments reflect information on the same basis we use for internal management reporting and performance evaluation. These results exclude certain costs included in the Consolidated Financial Statements (e.g., interest expense, other financing costs, investing activities and certain restructuring costs), which are reported in Corporate. Within the P&G Household Care GBU, we provide data for the Fabric Care and Home Care, as well as the Snacks and Coffee reportable segments. In P&G Family Health, we provide information on the Health Care and the Baby Care and Family Care reportable segments. As described in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have investments in certain companies over which we exert significant influence, but do not control the financial and operating decisions and, therefore, do not consolidate them ("unconsolidated entities"). Because certain of these investments are managed as integral parts of the Company's business units, they are accounted for as if they were consolidated subsidiaries for management and segment reporting purposes. This means pre-tax earnings in the business units include 100% of each pre-tax income statement component, with eliminations to adjust such line items to U.S. GAAP included in Corporate. In determining after-tax earnings in the business units, we eliminate the share of earnings applicable to other ownership interests, in a manner similar to minority interest, and apply the statutory tax rates. Adjustments to arrive at the Company's effective tax rate are included in Corporate. P&G Beauty P&G Beauty unit volume increased 12% in 2005. Organic volume, which excludes the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, increased 8%. The difference between total volume and organic volume is primarily Wella - the current year includes two additional months of Wella acquisition volume compared to the base period. P&G Beauty organic unit volume grew behind base business growth and several new product initiatives including Olay Anti-Aging, Olay Quench hand and body lotions, Olay Moisturinse in-shower body moisturizer, Pantene Pro-Health, Pantene Color Expressions and Lacoste Touch of Pink. Unit volume growth was broad-based with all major businesses in the segment contributing double-digit increases. Hair Care increased by low-double digits behind the Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Rejoice and Aussie brands. Our Hair Care business in North America was negatively impacted by the discontinuation of several minor brands and a difficult competitive environment. Hair Care global market share was 24%, an increase of about one point compared to last year. In Skin Care, volume increased double-digits behind the continued growth of the Olay brand. Double-digit growth in the Feminine Care business continues to be driven by product upgrades to the Always/Whisper brands and the successful introduction of Naturella in Central and Eastern Europe. Our global market share in Feminine Care was approximately 36%, an increase of about one percentage point compared to last year. Net sales increased 14% to $19.48 billion. Foreign exchange contributed 3% to sales growth, while the mix impact of higher relative growth in developing markets reduced sales by 1%. Net earnings increased 22% to $2.85 billion due to volume growth and an after-tax margin improvement of 100

32 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS basis points compared to the prior year. The margin increased primarily due to the scale benefits of volume growth, cost reduction programs and the impacts of the Company's increased ownership of the China operation and the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement with Wella. These margin benefits were partially offset by marketing spending to support initiatives, including those discussed above. In 2004, P&G Beauty unit volume increased 37%. Excluding the impact of the Wella acquisition, unit volume increased 10% behind broad-based growth in the Hair Care, Personal Beauty Care and Feminine Care businesses. Net sales increased 40% to $17.12 billion. Sales growth included a positive foreign exchange impact of 4%, partially offset by negative pricing of 1%. Pricing includes actions to support the Hair Care, Colorants and Cosmetics businesses in North America and the Feminine Care business in Western Europe. Overall, P&G Beauty market share increased, as sales growth out-paced market growth in key categories including Skin Care, Feminine Care and Hair Care. Net earnings increased 20% to $2.33 billion. Volume benefits, including the addition of Wella, and lower material costs were partially offset by marketing investments to support product initiatives and the base business. Earnings margin decreased due to the impact of the higher SG&A expense ratio for Wella. The Wella acquisition was accretive to P&G Beauty earnings and had no material impact on Company earnings after including interest expense, which is included in Corporate. In 2003, P&G Beauty net sales were $12.22 billion and net earnings were $1.94 billion. P&G Family Health Health Care. Health Care unit volume in 2005 increased 10% behind double-digit growth of Prilosec OTC, Actonel and developing markets. Oral Care posted mid-single digit volume growth globally despite a challenging competitive environment. Developing market volume for Oral Care was up double-digits, while developed market volume decreased due primarily to a contraction of the U.S. tooth whitening market. Net sales increased 11% to $7.79 billion aided by a positive 2% foreign exchange impact. Pricing in Pet Health and Nutrition and Pharmaceuticals added 1% to sales, while product mix reduced sales by 2% due to the shift of Macrobid branded sales to generic sales and higher relative growth in developing markets. Health Care's net earnings were $1.00 billion, an increase of 8% against a base period where earnings increased 36%. Earnings increased primarily behind volume growth. After-tax earnings margin declined about 40 basis points year-over-year due, in part, to product mix impacts of lower volume in Macrobid and Crest Whitestrips, both of which have higher margins than the balance of the Health Care business. Earnings were also negatively impacted by a higher royalty expense rate for Prilosec OTC, higher commodity costs and marketing investments in support of initiatives. In 2004, Health Care unit volume increased 18%. All categories grew volume, with double-digit gains in the Pharmaceutical, Personal Health Care and Oral Care businesses, as well as solid growth in Pet Health and Nutrition. Net sales increased 21% to $6.99 billion. Foreign exchange increased sales 3%. Net earnings increased 36% to $925 million primarily driven by sales growth behind initiatives and margin expansion due to product mix, manufacturing cost savings and lower overhead spending as a percentage of sales. Mix-driven margin expansion was negatively impacted by increased marketing spending to support initiatives and the base business. In 2003, Health Care net sales were $5.80 billion and net earnings were $678 million. Baby Care and Family Care. Baby Care and Family Care unit volume in 2005 increased 7%. Baby Care's unit volume increased upper single-digits behind a continued stream of innovation including Feel 'n Learn training pants in North America, Baby Dry fit upgrade and Baby Stages of Development upgrades in Western Europe and the expansion of Pampers Kandoo. Family Care volume increased mid-single digits driven by product, packaging and format initiatives in North America on both the Bounty and Charmin brands. Net sales increased 11% to $11.89 billion, including a positive 3% impact from foreign exchange. Pricing added 1% to sales growth driven primarily by a price increase in North America Family Care to recover higher commodity costs, partially offset by targeted pricing investments in Western Europe in response to competitive activity. Baby Care's global share increased by one point to 37%, with continued share progress in both North America and Western Europe. Family Care shares in major markets were up modestly compared to the prior year period. Net earnings increased 28% to $1.27 billion behind volume gains and an increase in after-tax earnings margin of 140 basis points to 10.6%. The margin increase was driven by the scale benefits of volume, pricing in North America Family Care and manufacturing cost savings projects, partly offset by higher commodity costs and marketing investments in support of initiatives. In 2004, Baby Care and Family Care unit volume increased 6%. Baby Care unit volume increased double-digits led by gains in Western Europe and developing markets. Family Care unit volume increased by mid-single digits. Net sales increased 8% to $10.72 billion, including a positive 4% impact due to foreign exchange. Sales were negatively impacted by pricing of 1%, primarily due to increased competitive promotional activity in North America Family Care. Mix reduced sales by 1% due primarily to higher relative Baby Care growth in developing markets, where unit sales prices are generally lower than the business average. Baby Care and Family Care net earnings were $990 million in 2004, an increase of 13% compared to 2003. Baby Care delivered The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 33 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS profit growth from higher volume and product cost savings. Family Care earnings declined slightly due to increases in commodity costs (both pulp and natural gas) and increased spending to keep prices competitive in a difficult market environment. P&G Household Care Fabric Care and Home Care. Unit volume increased by 9% in Fabric Care and Home Care, with both businesses delivering upper-single digit growth. Acquisitions in Europe and Latin America contributed 2% to volume growth versus the prior year. Unit volume increased behind strong initiative activity, expansion of the portfolio to serve more consumers and continued growth in developing markets. Volume increased behind the continued success of Lenor, Febreze Air Effects, Swiffer Duster and Gain, as well as the launches of Tide Coldwater, Downy Simple Pleasures and Mr. Clean Magic Reach. Developing markets grew volume by double-digits, led by the continued success of Tide in Greater China. Net sales increased 10% to $15.26 billion. Foreign exchange added 2% to sales growth. The mix impact of higher relative growth in developing markets reduced sales by 1%. Global market share for the Fabric Care business was up slightly compared to the previous year to 32%. Global market share for Home Care also increased modestly to 20%. In Air Care, Febreze earned a 14% share of the instant air freshener market behind the successful launch of Febreze Air Effects. Net earnings were $2.13 billion, a decrease of 2% compared to the prior year. After-tax earnings margin decreased 180 basis points due primarily to higher commodity costs, which more than offset the scale benefits of volume growth and pricing actions in certain markets. Additionally, after-tax margin in 2005 was lower due to the mix effect of higher growth rates in developing markets, where the margins are lower than in developed markets. We expect continued margin pressure in 2006 from higher commodity costs and growth in developing markets. In 2004, Fabric Care and Home Care unit volume increased 9% behind growth on established brands such as Tide, Ariel, Gain and Ace and the success of initiatives including Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Mr. Clean AutoDry, Swiffer Duster, Gain Fabric Enhancer and the expansion of Febreze. Net sales increased 10%, to $13.87 billion. Sales growth includes a positive 3% foreign exchange impact. Negative pricing of 1% was primarily driven by actions to maintain competitive shelf pricing in key geographies, including North America and Western Europe. Mix reduced sales by 1% driven primarily by double-digit growth in developing markets. Net earnings in 2004 increased 7% to $2.19 billion. Net earnings margin was down slightly compared to 2003 due to the mix effect of disproportionate growth outside of the U.S. (as we expanded our business in certain geographies including China, India and Eastern Europe) and marketing investments behind new product initiatives. Startup costs for increased liquid detergent capacity in North America to support new product initiative activity and investments in supply chain optimization also contributed to the lower net earnings margin. Snacks and Coffee. Snacks and Coffee unit volume increased 3% compared to the prior year. Pringles volume grew behind expanded distribution and merchandizing of customized flavors and Pringles Prints in North America. Coffee volume increased behind custom Folgers dark roasts. Folgers now has a market share in the U.S. of approximately 32%. Net sales increased 8% to $3.14 billion. Pricing increased sales 4% due primarily to actions on Folgers to recover higher commodity costs. Foreign exchange had a positive 2% effect on sales growth, while product mix reduced sales by 1%. Net earnings increased 21% to $417 million behind higher volume, pricing to recover commodity costs and lower merchandising spending versus the prior year. After-tax earnings margin increased 145 basis points to 13.3%. In 2004, unit volume in Snacks and Coffee increased 6%. Net sales were $2.91 billion, an increase of 9% compared to 2003. Foreign exchange added 3% to sales growth. Product mix increased sales by 1% primarily behind higher relative growth of Folgers, which has a higher unit sales rate than the segment average. Pricing reduced sales by 1% reflecting high promotional spending in the Coffee category. Snacks and Coffee net earnings in 2004 were $344 million, an increase of 18%, as volume and base business savings more than offset higher commodity costs. Corporate Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities that are not reflected in the results used internally to measure and evaluate the GBUs, as well as eliminations to adjust management reporting principles to U.S. GAAP. Operating activities in Corporate include the results of incidental businesses managed at the corporate level, certain restructuring costs and the elimination of individual revenues and expenses generated by companies over which we exert significant influence, but do not control. Operating elements held in Corporate also include certain employee benefit costs and other general corporate items. The non-operating items held in Corporate primarily include financing and investing activities. Additionally, Corporate includes the historical results of certain divested businesses, including the Juice business, which was divested in August of 2004. Corporate assets primarily include cash, investment securities and goodwill. Corporate net sales primarily reflect the adjustment to eliminate the sales of unconsolidated entities included in business unit results. Net sales reported in Corporate include the results of divested businesses (e.g., Juice). In 2005, Corporate net earnings declined due to higher interest expense, partially offset by the gain from the Juice business divestiture. The improvement to Corporate earnings in 2004 was driven primarily by a favorable base period comparison, as the prior year included restructuring program charges. This improvement was 34 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS partially offset by higher interest charges associated with Wella, hedging impacts and current year charges for projects to maintain a competitive cost structure. FINANCIAL CONDITION We believe our financial condition continues to be of high quality, as evidenced by our ability to generate substantial cash from operations and ready access to capital markets at competitive rates. Operating cash flow provides the primary source of funds to finance operating needs and capital expenditures. Excess operating cash is used first to fund shareholder dividends. Other discretionary uses include share repurchases and "tack-on" acquisitions to complement our portfolio of brands and geographies. As necessary, we may supplement operating cash flow with debt to fund these activities. The overall cash position of the Company reflects our strong business results and a global cash management strategy that takes into account liquidity management, economic factors and tax considerations. Operating Activities In 2005, operating cash flow was $8.72 billion compared to $9.36 billion in 2004. The benefit of higher net earnings in the current year was more than offset by changes in working capital. We define working capital as the combination of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Total inventory days on hand increased by two days in 2005 reflecting the impacts of higher commodity costs and the Company's efforts to rebuild inventory levels in product categories that could not sufficiently meet customer demand. Receivable days sales outstanding improved by two days, resulting in a slight improvement to operating cash flow. Accounts payable decreased three days. In addition to the increase in working capital, operating cash was reduced by tax payments related to the settlement of prior year audits. In 2004, operating cash flow was $9.36 billion compared to $8.70 billion in 2003, representing an increase of 8%. Higher net earnings were the primary driver of the increase in operating cash flow. Operating cash flow growth trailed earnings growth due to an increase in accounts receivable, cash payments for accrued restructuring program charges and a dividend received from a joint venture in 2003. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor impacting the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment. It is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures and is one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and determine their at-risk compensation. In 2005, free cash flow was $6.54 billion compared to $7.34 billion in 2004. In addition to lower operating cash flow, free cash flow declined year-over-year due to higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in 2005 were higher than in 2004, but still below our target of capital spending at or below 4% of net sales. In 2004, free cash flow was $7.34 billion compared to $7.22 billion in 2003. Free cash flow in 2004 reflected increased operating cash flow, partially offset by increased capital expenditures, although spending was in-line with our target of capital spending at or below 4% of sales. Capital spending in 2003 was well below historical levels and the Company's target. Free cash flow productivity, defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings, was 90% in 2005, in-line with the Company's target. Free cash flow productivity was 113% in 2004. [BAR GRAPH] Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Productivity (in billions of dollars, and as % of net earnings) Investing Activities Investing activities in the current year used $2.34 billion of cash compared to $10.14 billion in the prior year, which included the cash used for the acquisition of Wella. Acquisitions. Acquisitions (net of cash acquired) used $572 million of cash in the current year which includes acquisitions of a Pharmaceuticals business in Spain, Fabric Care businesses in Europe and Latin America and increased ownership in our Glad venture with The Clorox Company. In 2004, net cash used for acquisitions was $7.48 billion, driven by the acquisition of Wella and the purchase of the remaining stake in our China venture from Hutchison Whampoa China Ltd. (Hutchison). The initial Wella acquisition in September 2003 was approximately $5.10 billion for an 81% interest, funded by a combination of debt and cash. In June 2004, the Company and Wella completed a Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement, which provided us full operating control and rights to 100% of future operating results. In exchange, we must pay the remaining Wella shareholders a guaranteed annual dividend payments. Alternatively, the Wella shareholders may elect to tender the shares for a fixed price. The obligation associated with the Domination and The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 35 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Profit Transfer Agreement was $1.11 billion and has been recognized as a current liability. The portion of the acquisition related to the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement represents a non-cash transaction. Future payments related to the principal portion of the annual dividend arrangement or acquisition of shares tendered will be reflected as investing activities, consistent with the underlying transaction. The gross cash outlay for Hutchison in 2004 was $2.00 billion, which also included the settlement of minority interest and certain other liabilities, for a net cost of $1.85 billion. The acquisition was funded by debt. We also completed certain smaller acquisitions with an aggregate cost of $384 million in 2004, including Glide dental floss and Fabric Care brands in Western Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Net cash used for acquisitions was $61 million in 2003. Capital Spending. Capital spending efficiency continues to be a critical component of the Company's overall cash management strategy. Capital expenditures in 2005 were $2.18 billion compared to $2.02 billion in 2004 and $1.48 billion in 2003. Capital spending in 2005 was 3.8% of net sales - slightly lower than the comparable prior year period as a percentage of net sales and below our target ratio. Over the past several years, we have made systemic interventions to improve capital spending efficiencies and asset utilization. While the Company's goal is to maintain capital expenditures at or below 4% of sales on an ongoing basis, there may be exceptional years when specific business circumstances, such as capacity additions, may lead to higher spending. [LINE GRAPH] Capital Spending (% of sales) Proceeds from Asset Sales. Proceeds from asset sales increased primarily due to the divestiture of the Juice business in August of 2004. Financing Activities Dividend Payments. Our first discretionary use of cash is dividend payments. Dividends per common share grew 11% to $1.03 per share in 2005. This increase represents the 49th consecutive fiscal year the Company has increased its common share dividend. The Company has been paying common share dividends each year, without interruption, since incorporation in 1890. Total dividend payments to both common and preferred shareholders were $2.73 billion, $2.54 billion and $2.25 billion in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Dividends (per common share) [BAR GRAPH] 2001 $0.70 2002 $0.76 2003 $0.82 2004 $0.93 2005 $1.03
Long-Term and Short-Term Debt. We maintain debt levels we consider appropriate after evaluating a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for ongoing operations, investment plans (including acquisitions and share repurchase activities) and the overall cost of capital. Total debt increased by $3.49 billion in 2005 to $24.33 billion. The increase was primarily due to additional debt to finance share repurchases announced concurrently with our planned acquisition of The Gillette Company. In 2004, total debt increased by $7.19 billion to $20.84 billion. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Wella and the Hutchison minority interest, along with discretionary share repurchases. Liquidity. As discussed previously, our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations. We believe internally-generated cash flows adequately support business operations, capital expenditures and shareholder dividends, as well as a level of discretionary investments (e.g., for tack-on acquisitions). We are able to supplement our short-term liquidity, if necessary, with broad access to capital markets and $2.00 billion in bank credit facilities. Broad access to financing includes commercial paper programs in multiple markets at favorable rates given our strong credit ratings (including separate U.S. dollar and Euro multi-currency programs). We maintain two bank credit facilities: a $1.00 billion, five-year facility which matures in July 2007 and a $1.00 billion, five-year facility which matures in July 2009. We have never drawn against either facility and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. 36 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS These credit facilities do not have cross-default or ratings triggers, nor do they have material adverse events clauses, except at the time of signing. While not considered material to the overall financial condition of the Company, there is a covenant in the credit facilities stating the ratio of net debt to earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization cannot exceed four at the time of a draw on the facility. As of June 30, 2005, we are comfortably below this level, with a ratio of approximately 1.2. Additionally, we secured a $3.40 billion bridge facility to fund the share buyback plan announced concurrently with the Company's planned acquisition of The Gillette Company. As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we entered into an agreement to acquire The Gillette Company on January 27, 2005. In connection with this transaction, we also announced a share buyback plan under which we will acquire up to $22 billion of Company common shares. As of June 30, 2005, $3.00 billion in shares were acquired under this plan, financed by the bridge facility. On July 27, 2005, we signed a $24 billion three-year credit facility with a syndicate of banks to replace the current $3.40 billion bridge facility. The credit facility will be available for general corporate purposes with the expectation that the majority of the funds will be used to fund the share repurchase program. We expect the share buyback program to be largely complete by June 30, 2006. As part of the share repurchase program, we may also purchase shares of The Gillette Company prior to the close to facilitate completion of the transaction (dependent on market conditions and regulatory approval). We do not anticipate any significant impacts to the Company's overall liquidity as a result of the acquisition or share buyback program. This credit facility carries a variable interest rate. Interest on the facility will be managed within our overall interest rate management policies described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to these credit facilities, long-term borrowing available under our current shelf registration statement was $7.01 billion at June 30, 2005. The Company's Moody's and Standard & Poor's (S&P) short-term credit ratings are P-1 and A-1+, respectively. Our Moody's and S&P long-term credit ratings are Aa3 and AA- with a negative outlook, respectively. These ratings were recently confirmed following the Company's announcement of the agreement to acquire Gillette and the stock buyback plan. Treasury Purchases. During the past year, we substantially increased our level of share repurchases. Total share repurchases in 2005 were $5.03 billion, of which $3.00 billion were made as part of our aforementioned share repurchase plan. As discussed previously, we expect to largely complete the share purchases under this plan by June 30, 2006. In 2004, treasury share purchases totaled $4.07 billion compared to $1.24 billion in 2003. Lower share purchases in 2003 reflected the need to preserve capital ahead of the Wella acquisition. Guarantees and Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, that we believe could have a material impact on financial condition or liquidity. Contractual Commitments. The table below provides information on our contractual commitments as of June 30, 2005 (in millions).

(1) Represents future pension payments to comply with local funding requirements. The projected payments beyond fiscal year 2008 are not currently determinable. (2) Primarily reflects future contractual payments under various take-or-pay arrangements entered into as part of the normal course of business. Commitments made under take-or-pay obligations represent future purchases in line with expected usage to obtain favorable pricing. Approximately 70% relates to service contracts for information technology, human resources management and facilities management activities that were outsourced in recent years. While the amounts listed represent contractual obligations, we do not believe it is likely that the full contractual amount would be paid if the underlying contracts were canceled prior to maturity. In such cases, we generally are able to negotiate new contracts or cancellation penalties, resulting in a reduced payment. The amounts do not include obligations related to other contractual purchase obligations that are not take-or-pay arrangements. Such contractual purchase obligations are primarily purchase orders at fair value that are part of normal operations and are reflected in historical operating cash flow trends. We do not believe such purchase obligations will adversely affect our liquidity position. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 37 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES In preparing our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, there are certain accounting policies that are particularly important. These include revenue recognition, income taxes, certain employee benefits and goodwill and intangible assets. We believe these accounting policies, and others set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, should be reviewed as they are integral to understanding the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. In some cases, these policies simply represent required accounting. In others, they may represent a choice between acceptable accounting methods or may require substantial judgment or estimation in their application. Due to the nature of our business, these estimates generally are not considered highly uncertain at the time of estimation, meaning they are not expected to result in a change that would materially affect our results of operations or financial condition in any given year. The Company has discussed the selection of significant accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Revenue Recognition Most of our revenue transactions represent sales of inventory, and we recognize revenue when title, ownership and risk of loss transfer to the customer, which generally is on the date of shipment. A provision for payment discounts and product return allowances is recorded as a reduction of sales within the same period that the revenue is recognized. We offer sales incentives through various programs, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons. The cost of these programs is recorded as a reduction of sales. Given the nature of our business, revenue recognition practices do not contain estimates that materially affect results of operations. Income Taxes Our annual tax rate is determined based on our income, statutory tax rates and the tax impacts of items treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes. Tax law requires certain items to be included in the tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. As a result, our annual tax rate reflected in our financial statements is different than reported on our tax return (our cash tax rates). Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit in our income statement. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in our financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expenditures which we have already taken a deduction for in our tax return but have not yet been recognized in our financial statements. Inherent in determining our annual tax rate are judgments regarding business plans, planning opportunities and expectations about future outcomes. Realization of certain deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior to the expiration of the carry-forward periods. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, will be realized. Changes in existing tax laws, tax rates and their related interpretations may also affect our ability to successfully manage the impacts of regulatory matters around the world. We establish reserves for tax positions that management believes are supportable, but are potentially subject to successful challenge by the applicable taxing authority. We review these in light of the changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, and adjust them when significant changes in risk warrant it. We have a number of audits in process in various jurisdictions. Although the results of these audits are uncertain, based on currently available information, we believe that the ultimate outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Our accounting represents management's best estimate of future events that can be appropriately reflected in the accounting estimates. Certain changes or future events, such as changes in tax legislation, geographic mix of earnings, completion of tax audits or earnings repatriation plans could have an impact on our estimates and effective tax rate. Employee Benefits We sponsor various post-employment benefits throughout the world. These include pension plans, both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans, and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans, consisting primarily of health care and life insurance for retirees. For accounting purposes, the defined benefit and OPEB plans require assumptions to estimate the projected and accumulated benefit obligations, including the following: discount rate; expected salary increases; certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement 38 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS age and mortality; expected return on assets; and health care cost trend rates. These and other assumptions affect the annual expense recognized for these plans. Our assumptions reflect our historical experiences and management's best judgment regarding future expectations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the net amount by which actual results differ from our assumptions is deferred. If this net deferred amount exceeds 10% of the greater of plan assets or liabilities, a portion of the deferred amount is included in expense for the following year. The cost or benefit of plan changes, such as increasing or decreasing benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost), is deferred and included in expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits. The expected return on plan assets assumption is important, since many of our defined benefit plans and our primary OPEB plan are funded. The process for setting the expected rates of return is described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For 2005, the average return on assets assumption for pension plan assets is 7.2%. A change in the rate of return of 1% would impact annual benefit expense by approximately $17 million after tax. For 2005, the return on assets assumption for OPEB assets is 9.5%. A 1% change in the rate of return would impact annual benefit expense by approximately $24 million after tax. Since pension and OPEB liabilities are measured on a discounted basis, the discount rate is a significant assumption. Discount rates used for our U.S. defined benefit and OPEB plans are based on a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high quality bonds for which the timing and amount of cash outflows approximate the estimated payouts of the plan. For our international plans, the discount rates are set by benchmarking against investment grade corporate bonds rated AA or better. The average discount rate on the defined benefit pension plans of 4.5% represents a weighted average of local rates in countries where such plans exist. A 0.5% change in the discount rate would impact annual after-tax benefit expense by less than $35 million. The rate on the OPEB plan of 5.1% reflects the higher interest rates generally available in the U.S., which is where a majority of the plan participants receive benefits. A 0.5% change in the discount rate would impact annual after-tax OPEB expense by less than $20 million. Certain defined contribution pension and OPEB benefits in the U.S. are funded by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), as discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We also have employee stock option plans which are accounted for under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. As stock options have been issued with exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying shares on the grant date, no compensation expense was recognized. Notes 1 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provide supplemental information, including pro forma earnings and earnings per share, as if the Company had accounted for options based on the fair value method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The estimate of fair value requires a number of assumptions, including estimated option life and future volatility of the underlying stock price. Changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the estimated fair value of the stock options. Effective July 1, 2005, we are adopting the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123(R)). This Statement revises SFAS No. 123 by eliminating the option to account for employee stock options under APB No. 25 and generally requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (the "fair-value-based" method). We plan to adopt SFAS 123(R) using the modified retrospective method, whereby all prior periods will be adjusted to give effect to the fair-value-based method of accounting for awards granted in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1995. The impact of adopting SFAS 123(R) will be consistent with the pro forma disclosure presented in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company seeks to deliver value from innovation by building brands and businesses. In many cases, brands are created internally, and the costs are expensed as incurred. In other cases, brands and businesses may be acquired, which generally results in intangible assets recognized in the financial statements. These intangibles may represent indefinite-lived assets (e.g., certain trademarks or brands), definite-lived intangibles (e.g., patents) or residual goodwill. Of these, only the costs of definite-lived intangibles are amortized to expense over their estimated life. The classification of intangibles and the determination of the appropriate life requires substantial judgment. Our history demonstrates that many of the Company's brands have very long lives and our objective is to generally maintain them indefinitely. For accounting purposes, we evaluate a number of factors to determine whether an indefinite life is appropriate, including the competitive environment, market share, brand history, operating plan and the macroeconomic environment of the countries in which the brand is sold. If it is determined that an intangible does not have an indefinite life, our policy is to amortize the balance over the expected useful life, which generally ranges from 5 to 20 years. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 39 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our impairment testing for goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. We test goodwill for impairment, at least annually, by reviewing the book value compared to the fair value at the reporting unit level. We test individual indefinite-lived intangibles at least annually by reviewing the individual book values compared to the fair value. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes and to estimate future cash flows to measure fair value. Assumptions used in the Company's impairment evaluations, such as forecasted growth rates and cost of capital, are consistent with internal projections and operating plans. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, we review the life of intangible assets. The value of goodwill and intangible assets from recently-acquired businesses are derived from the current macroeconomic environment and therefore, are more susceptible to a short-term adverse economic change that could require an impairment charge. We did not recognize any material impairment charges for goodwill or intangible assets during the years presented. OTHER INFORMATION Hedging and Derivative Financial Instruments As a multinational company with diverse product offerings, we are exposed to market risks such as changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, we evaluate our exposures on a global basis to take advantage of the direct netting opportunities and currency, interest rate and commodity correlations that exist within the portfolio. For the remaining exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions in accordance with the Company's hedging policies that are designed to offset, in-part or in-whole, changes in the underlying exposures being hedged. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements includes a detailed discussion of our accounting policies for financial instruments. Derivative positions are monitored using techniques including market valuation, sensitivity analysis and value-at-risk modeling. The tests for interest rate and currency rate exposures discussed below are based on a Monte Carlo simulation value-at-risk model using a one year horizon and a 95% confidence level. The model incorporates the impact of correlation (the degree to which exposures move together over time) and diversification (from holding multiple currency, commodity and interest rate instruments) and assumes that financial returns are normally distributed. Estimates of volatility and correlations of market factors are drawn from the RiskMetrics(TM) dataset as of June 30, 2005. In cases where data is unavailable in RiskMetrics(TM), a reasonable proxy is included. Our market risk exposures relative to interest and currency rates, as discussed below, have not changed materially versus the previous reporting period. In addition, we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would significantly impact such exposures in the near-term. Interest Rate Exposure. Interest rate swaps are used to hedge exposures to interest rate movement on underlying debt obligations. Certain interest rate swaps denominated in foreign currencies are designated to hedge exposures to currency exchange rate movements on our investments in foreign operations. These currency interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the Company's foreign net investments. Based on our overall interest rate exposure as of and during the year ended June 30, 2005, including derivative and other instruments sensitive to interest rates, we do not believe a near-term change in interest rates, at a 95% confidence level based on historical interest rate movements, would materially affect our financial statements. Currency Rate Exposure. Because we manufacture and sell products in a number of countries throughout the world, we are exposed to the impact on revenue and expenses of movements in currency exchange rates. The primary purpose of our currency hedging activities is to reduce the risk that our financial position will be adversely affected by short-term changes in exchange rates. Corporate policy prescribes the range of allowable hedging activity. We primarily use forward contracts and options with maturities of less than 18 months. In addition, we enter into certain currency swaps with maturities of up to five years to hedge our exposure to exchange rate movements on intercompany financing transactions. We also use purchased currency options with maturities of generally less than 18 months and forward contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany royalties and to offset a portion of the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on income from international operations. Based on our overall currency rate exposure as of and during the year ended June 30, 2005, including derivative and other instruments sensitive to currency movements, we do not believe a near-term change in currency rates, at a 95% confidence level based on historical currency rate movements, would materially affect our financial statements. Commodity Price Exposure. We use raw materials that are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, political and economic variables and other unpredictable factors. In addition to fixed price contracts, we use futures, options and swap contracts to manage the volatility related to the above exposures. Commodity hedging activity is not considered material to our financial statements. 40 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Restructuring Program In 1999, concurrent with a reorganization of our operations into product-based GBUs, we initiated a multi-year Organization 2005 Restructuring Program. Total restructuring program charges were $538 million after tax in 2003. The program was substantially complete at the end of June 2003 with a remaining reserve of $335 million. Substantially all of the liability was settled through cash payments by June 30, 2004. The Company continues to undertake projects to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing consolidations and work force rationalization, as part of its normal operations. We expect to recognize between $150 million to $200 million after tax per year in charges for these types of projects. Spending in both 2005 and 2004 was consistent and within the range described above. Measures Not Defined By U.S GAAP Our discussion of financial results includes several "non-GAAP" financial measures. We believe these measures provide our investors with additional information about our underlying results and trends, as well as insight to some of the metrics used to evaluate management. When used in MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion. These measures include: Organic Sales Growth. Organic sales growth measures sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. The Company believes this provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying results and trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. The Company views free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment. Free cash flow is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. Free Cash Flow Productivity. Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. The Company's target is to generate free cash flow at or above 90% of net earnings. Free cash flow productivity is one of the measures used to evaluate senior management. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 41 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS

See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 46 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations The Procter & Gamble Company's (the "Company," "we" or "us") business is focused on providing consumer branded products of superior quality and value. We market over 300 branded products in more than 160 countries around the world. Our products are sold primarily through retail operations including mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores and high-frequency stores. Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements include The Procter & Gamble Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in certain companies over which we exert significant influence, but do not control the financial and operating decisions, are accounted for as equity method investments. Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, consumer and trade promotion accruals, pensions, post-employment benefits, stock options, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, potential income tax assessments and contingencies. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not believe such differences would materially affect the financial statements in any individual year. Revenue Recognition Sales are recognized when revenue is realized or realizable and has been earned. Most revenue transactions represent sales of inventory. The revenue recorded includes shipping and handling costs, which generally are included in the list price to the customer. Our policy is to recognize revenue when title to the product, ownership and risk of loss transfer to the customer, which generally is on the date of shipment. A provision for payment discounts and product return allowances is recorded as a reduction of sales in the same period that the revenue is recognized. Trade promotions, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons, are offered through various programs to customers and consumers. Sales are recorded net of trade promotion spending, which is recognized as incurred, generally at the time of the sale. Most of these arrangements have terms of approximately one year. Accruals for expected payouts under these programs are included as accrued marketing and promotion in the accrued and other liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cost of Products Sold Cost of products sold primarily comprises direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacture of product, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product. Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity. Shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are included in net sales. Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expense is primarily comprised of marketing expenses, including the cost of media, advertising and related costs; selling expenses; research and development costs; administrative and other indirect overhead costs; depreciation and amortization expense on non-manufacturing assets; and other miscellaneous operating items. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and were $1,940 in 2005, $1,802 in 2004 and $1,665 in 2003. Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Worldwide television, print, radio and internet advertising expenses were $5,917 in 2005, $5,504 in 2004 and $4,373 in 2003. Restructuring Program In 1999, concurrent with a reorganization of our operations into product-based Global Business Units, we initiated a multi-year Organization 2005 Restructuring Program. Costs included enrollment reductions, manufacturing consolidations and portfolio choices to scale back or discontinue under-performing businesses and initiatives. Total restructuring program charges were $751 in 2003, including $351 in separations related to approximately 5,000 people, $190 in asset write-downs and $87 in accelerated depreciation related to long-lived assets that were taken out of service prior to the end of their normal service period. At June 30, 2003, the program was substantially complete with a remaining reserve of $335. Substantially all of this liability was settled through cash payments by June 30, 2004. We continue to undertake projects substantially smaller in scope to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing streamlining and work force rationalization, as part of our normal operations. Other Non-Operating Income, Net Other non-operating income, net primarily includes divestiture gains and losses and interest and investment income. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 47 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Currency Translation Financial statements of operating subsidiaries outside the United States of America (U.S.) generally are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate those statements into U.S. dollars are recorded in other comprehensive income. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. Remeasurement adjustments for financial statements in highly inflationary economies and other transactional exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings. Cash Flow Presentation The Statement of Cash Flows is prepared using the indirect method, which reconciles net earnings to cash flow from operating activities. These adjustments include the removal of timing differences between the occurrence of operating receipts and payments and their recognition in net earnings. The adjustments also remove from operating activities cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are presented separately from operating activities. Cash flows from foreign currency transactions and operations are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged. Cash flows from derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges are classified as financing activities. Cash flows from other derivative instruments used to manage interest, commodity or currency exposures are classified as operating activities. Cash paid for acquisitions is classified as investing activities. Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with remaining stated maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents and recorded at cost. Investments Investment securities consist of auction rate securities that approximate fair value and readily-marketable debt and equity securities that are classified as trading with unrealized gains or losses charged to earnings. Other investments that are not controlled and over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method. Inventory Valuation Inventories are valued at cost, which is not in excess of current market prices. Product-related inventories are primarily maintained on the first-in, first-out method. Minor amounts of product inventories, including certain cosmetics and commodities, are maintained on the last-in, first-out method. The cost of spare part inventories is maintained using the average cost method. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, primarily brand names and trademarks, are not amortized, but are evaluated annually for impairment. Our impairment testing for goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of individual indefinite-lived intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. We evaluate a number of factors to determine whether an indefinite life is appropriate, including the competitive environment, market share, brand history, operating plan and the macroeconomic environment of the countries in which the brands are sold. Where certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, indefinite-lived intangibles may be adjusted to a determinable life and an impairment assessment may be performed. Due to the nature of our business, there are a number of brand intangibles that have been determined to have indefinite lives. If it is determined that a brand intangible does not have an indefinite life, our policy is to amortize the intangible asset over the expected useful life. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are amortized over their respective contractual lives. Other non-contractual intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over periods generally ranging from 5 to 20 years. Where certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, lives on intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Machinery and equipment includes office furniture and equipment (15-year life), computer equipment and capitalized software (3 to 5-year lives) and manufacturing equipment (3 to 20-year lives). Buildings are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, where appropriate, changes are made prospectively. Where certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Fair Values of Financial Instruments Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value. The estimated fair values of such financial instruments, including certain debt instruments, investment securities and derivatives, have been determined using market information and valuation methodologies, primarily discounted cash flow analysis. These estimates require Million of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. 48 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS considerable judgment in interpreting market data and changes in assumptions or estimation methods could significantly affect the fair value estimates. However, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Other financial instruments, including cash equivalents, other investments and short-term debt, are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair values of long-term debt and derivative instruments are disclosed in Note 5 and Note 6, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has employee stock option plans, which are described more fully in Note 7. We account for employee stock option plans under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. As stock options have been issued with exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying shares on the grant date, no compensation cost was recognized. Had compensation expense for the plans been determined based on the fair value of the options on the grant date, consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," our net earnings and earnings per common share would have been as follows:

(1) During 2004, the timing of the annual grant was moved from September to February resulting in lower expense, as the associated pro forma expense is amortized over the three-year vesting period. New Pronouncements and Reclassifications In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123(R)). This Statement revises SFAS No. 123 by eliminating the option to account for employee stock options under APB No. 25 and generally requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (the "fair-value-based" method). We are adopting SFAS 123(R) effective July 1, 2005 using the modified retrospective method. All prior periods will be adjusted to give effect to the fair-value-based method of accounting for awards granted in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1995. The impact of adopting SFAS 123(R) will be consistent with the impact in the pro forma disclosure presented above. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year has had or is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications of prior years' amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. NOTE 2 ACQUISITIONS Gillette Acquisition On January 27, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire The Gillette Company. The agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors and the shareholders of both companies, provides for a stock-for-stock exchange in which 0.975 shares of The Procter & Gamble Company common stock would be issued and exchanged, on a tax-free basis, for each share of The Gillette Company. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total consideration would be approximately $54 billion, determined using the average Company stock prices beginning two days before and ending two days after January 28, 2005, the date the acquisition was announced. The Gillette Company is a leader in several global product categories including blades and razors, oral care and batteries. Total sales for Gillette during its most recent year ended December 31, 2004 were $10.5 billion. The acquisition is subject to approval by certain regulatory authorities. We believe that the transaction will close in Fall 2005. In connection with this acquisition, we also announced a share buyback plan under which we will acquire up to $22 billion of Company common shares. Through June 30, 2005, we repurchased $3.00 billion under this plan, financed by a bridge credit facility. On July 27, 2005, we entered into a $24 billion three-year credit facility with a syndicate of banks. This facility replaced the bridge credit facility. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes with the expectation that the majority of the funds will be used as part of the share repurchase program. As part of the share repurchase program, we may also purchase shares of The Gillette Company prior to close to facilitate completion of the transaction (dependent on market conditions and regulatory approval). This facility is initially secured by a pledge of certain of the Company shares acquired under the share buyback plan. This credit Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 49 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS facility carries a variable interest rate. Interest on the facility will be managed within our overall interest rate management policies described in Note 6. Wella Acquisition On September 2, 2003, we acquired a controlling interest in Wella. Through a stock purchase agreement with the majority shareholders of Wella and a tender offer made on the remaining shares, we acquired a total of 81% of Wella's outstanding shares, including 99% of Wella's outstanding voting class shares. In June 2004, the Company and Wella entered into a Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement (the Domination Agreement) pursuant to which we are entitled to exercise full operating control and receive 100% of the future earnings of Wella. As consideration for the Domination Agreement, we will pay the holders of the remaining outstanding shares of Wella a guaranteed perpetual annual dividend payment. Alternatively, the remaining Wella shareholders may elect to tender their shares to us for an agreed price. The fair value of the total guaranteed annual dividend payments was $1.11 billion, which approximates the cost if all remaining shares were tendered. Because the Domination Agreement transfers operational and economic control of the remaining outstanding shares to the Company, it has been accounted for as an acquisition of the remaining shares, with a liability recorded equal to the fair value of the guaranteed payments. Because of the tender feature, the liability is recorded as a current liability in the accrued and other liabilities line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payments made under the guaranteed annual dividend and tender provisions are allocated between interest expense and a reduction of the liability, as appropriate. The total purchase price for Wella, including acquisition costs, was $6.27 billion based on exchange rates at the acquisition dates. It was funded with a combination of cash, debt and the liability recorded under the Domination Agreement. The acquisition of Wella, with over $3 billion in annual net sales, gives us access to the professional hair care category plus greater scale and scope in hair care, hair colorants, cosmetics and fragrance products, while providing potential for significant synergies. The operating results of the Wella business are reported in our P&G Beauty Global Business Unit beginning September 2, 2003. The following table provides pro forma results of operations for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, as if Wella had been acquired as of the beginning of each fiscal year presented. Pro forma information for 2005 is not provided as the results of Wella are included in our results for the entire year. The pro forma results include certain adjustments, including adjustments to convert Wella's historical financial information from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) into U.S. GAAP, estimated interest impacts from funding of the acquisition and estimated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets. However, pro forma results do not include any cost savings or other effects of the integration of Wella. Accordingly, such amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated.

China Venture On June 18, 2004, we purchased the remaining 20% stake in our China venture from our partner, Hutchison Whampoa China Ltd. (Hutchison), giving us full ownership in our operations in China. The net purchase price was $1.85 billion, which is the purchase price of $2.00 billion net of minority interest and related obligations that were eliminated as a result of the transaction. The acquisition was funded by debt. The fair value of the incremental individual assets and liabilities acquired approximates current book value. Accordingly, the purchase price was recorded as goodwill, which was allocated to multiple businesses. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. 50 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Other minor business purchases and intangible asset acquisitions totaled $572, $384 and $61 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE 6 RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES As a multinational company with diverse product offerings, we are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity pricing. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, we evaluate exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of logical exposure netting and correlation. For the remaining exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions. Such derivative transactions, which are executed in accordance with our policies in areas such as counterparty exposure and hedging practices, are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and interpreted. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. At inception, we formally designate and document the qualifying financial instrument as a hedge of an underlying exposure. We formally assess, both at inception and at least quarterly on an ongoing basis, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Fluctuations in the derivative value generally are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the exposures being hedged. This offset is driven by the high degree of effectiveness between the exposure being hedged and the hedging instrument. Any ineffective portion of an instrument's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. Credit Risk We have established strict counterparty credit guidelines and normally enter into transactions with investment grade financial institutions. Counterparty exposures are monitored daily and downgrades in credit rating are reviewed on a timely basis. Credit risk arising from the inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of our financial instrument contracts generally is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparty's obligations exceed our obligations to the counterparty. We do not expect to incur material credit losses on our risk management or other financial instruments. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. 52 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Interest Rate Management Our policy is to manage interest cost using a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. To manage this risk in a cost efficient manner, we enter into interest rate swaps in which we agree to exchange with the counterparty, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Interest rate swaps that meet specific conditions under SFAS No. 133 are accounted for as fair value and cash flow hedges. For fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the hedging instruments and the underlying debt obligations are immediately recognized in interest expense as equal and offsetting gains and losses. The fair value of these fair value hedges was a net asset of $17 and $45 at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. All existing fair value hedges are 100% effective. As a result, there is no impact to earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the underlying debt. The fair value of these cash flow hedges was an asset of $3 at June 30, 2005. There were no such interest rate cash flow hedges at June 30, 2004. Foreign Currency Management We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The purpose of our foreign currency hedging program is to reduce the risk caused by short-term changes in exchange rates. We primarily utilize forward contracts and options with maturities of less than 18 months and currency swaps with maturities up to 5 years. These instruments are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases, intercompany royalties and intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies and are therefore accounted for as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these instruments at June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $47 and $47 in assets and $131 and $140 in liabilities, respectively. The effective portion of the changes in fair value for these instruments is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same financial statement line item and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The ineffective portion, which is not material for any year presented, is immediately recognized in earnings. Certain instruments used to manage foreign exchange risk do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment. In these cases, the change in value of the instruments is designed to offset the foreign currency impact of intercompany financing transactions, income from international operations and other balance sheet revaluations. The fair value of these instruments at June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $57 and $71 in assets and $108 and $26 in liabilities, respectively. The change in value of these instruments is immediately recognized in earnings. The net impact of such instruments, included in selling, general and administrative expense, was $18, $80 and $264 of gains in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which substantially offset foreign currency transaction and translation losses of the exposures being hedged. Net Investment Hedging We hedge certain of our net investment positions in major foreign subsidiaries. To accomplish this, we either borrow directly in foreign currency and designate a portion of foreign currency debt as a hedge of net investments in foreign subsidiaries or enter into foreign currency swaps that are designated as hedges of our related foreign net investments. Under SFAS No. 133, changes in the fair value of these instruments are immediately recognized in other comprehensive income, to offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. Currency effects of these hedges reflected in other comprehensive income were a $135 after-tax gain, a $348 after-tax loss and a $418 after-tax loss in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Accumulated net balances were a $451 and $586 after-tax loss in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Commodity Price Management Raw materials are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, political and economic variables and other unpredictable factors. To manage the volatility related to certain anticipated inventory purchases, we use futures and options with maturities generally less than one year and swap contracts with maturities up to five years. These market instruments are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, the mark-to-market gain or loss on qualifying hedges is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified into cost of products sold in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Qualifying cash flow hedges currently recorded in other comprehensive income are not considered material. The mark-to-market gain or loss on non-qualifying, excluded and ineffective portions of hedges is immediately recognized in cost of products sold. Commodity hedging activity was not material to our financial statements for any of the years presented. NOTE 7 EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCK OPTIONS Net Earnings Per Common Share Net earnings less preferred dividends (net of related tax benefits) are divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year to calculate basic net earnings per common share. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 53 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Diluted net earnings per common share are calculated to give effect to stock options and assuming conversion of preferred stock (see Note 8). Net earnings and common shares balances used to calculate basic and diluted net earnings per share were as follows:

- ----------------- (1) Despite being included currently in diluted net earnings per common share, the actual conversion to common stock occurs pursuant to the repayment of the ESOP debt through 2021. (2) Approximately 1 million in 2005, 38 million in 2004 and 66 million in 2003 of the Company's outstanding stock options were not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculation because to do so would have been antidilutive (i.e., the exercise price exceeded market value). Stock-Based Compensation We have a primary stock-based compensation plan under which stock options are granted annually to key managers and directors with exercise prices equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Grants were made under plans approved by shareholders in 1992, 2001 and 2003. Grants issued since September 2002 are vested after three years and have a ten-year life. Grants issued from July 1998 through August 2002 are vested after three years and have a fifteen-year life, while grants issued prior to July 1998 are vested after one year and have a ten-year life. We also make other minor grants to employees, for which vesting terms and option lives are not substantially different. Had the provision of SFAS No. 123 expensing been applied, our net earnings and earnings per common share would have been impacted as summarized in the discussion of our stock-based compensation accounting policy in Note 1. In calculating the impact for options granted, we have estimated the fair value of each grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for grants issued through December 31, 2004. Effective January 1, 2005, we utilize a binomial lattice-based model for the valuation of stock option grants. The utilization of the binomial lattice-based model did not have a significant impact on the valuation of stock options as compared to the Black-Scholes model. Assumptions utilized in the model, which are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience, were as follows:

NOTE 8 POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN The Company offers various postretirement benefits to its employees. Defined Contribution Retirement Plans The most prevalent employee pension plans offered are defined contribution plans, which cover substantially all employees in the U.S., as well as employees in certain other countries. These plans are fully funded. We generally make contributions to participants based on individual base salaries and years of service. In the U.S., the contribution is set annually. Total contributions have approximated 15% of total participants' annual wages and salaries for 2005, 2004 and 2003. The Company maintains The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust (Trust) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to provide a portion of the funding for the U.S. defined contribution plan, as well as other retiree benefits. Operating details of the ESOP are provided at the end of this Note. The fair value of the ESOP Series A shares reduces our cash contribution required to fund the U.S. defined contribution plan. Defined contribution expense, which approximates our cash contribution to the plan that is funded in the subsequent year, was $203, $274 and $286 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Defined Benefit Retirement Plans and Other Retiree Benefits Certain other employees, primarily outside the U.S., are covered by local defined benefit pension plans as well as other retiree benefit plans. The Company also provides certain other retiree benefits, primarily health care and life insurance, for substantially all U.S. employees who become eligible for these benefits when they meet minimum age and service requirements. Generally, the health care plans require cost sharing with retirees and pay a stated percentage of expenses, reduced by deductibles and other coverages. These benefits primarily are funded by ESOP Series B shares, as well as certain other assets contributed by the Company. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 introduced a Medicare prescription-drug benefit beginning in 2006 as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care plans that provide a benefit at least "actuarially equivalent" to the Medicare benefit. The impact of this Act was included in the June 30, 2004 measurement process for other retiree benefit plans. The Act did not have a material impact to the net periodic retiree medical benefit cost or to expected benefit payments. Obligation and Funded Status. We use a June 30 measurement date for our defined benefit retirement plans and other retiree benefit plans. The following provides a reconciliation of benefit obligations, plan assets and funded status of these plans: Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified.

The underfunding of pension benefits is primarily a function of the different funding incentives that exist outside of the U.S. In certain countries where we have major operations, there are no legal requirements or financial incentives provided to companies to pre-fund pension obligations. In these instances, benefit payments are typically paid directly from the Company's cash as they become due.

Assumptions. We determine our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis. These assumptions are weighted to reflect each country that may have an impact on the cost of providing retirement benefits. The weighted-average assumptions for the defined benefit and other retiree benefit calculations, as well as assumed health care trend rates are as follows:

(3) Rate is applied to current plan costs net of Medicare; estimated initial rate for "gross eligible charges" (charges inclusive of Medicare) is 7.7% for 2005 and 2004. Several factors are considered in developing the estimate for the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets. For the defined benefit plans, these include historical rates of return of broad equity and bond indices and projected long-term rates of return from pension investment consultants. The expected long-term rates of return for plan assets are 8%-9% for equities and 5%-6% bonds. The rate of return on other retiree benefit plan assets, comprised primarily of Company stock, is based on the long-term projected return of 9.5% and reflects the historical pattern Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 57 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of favorable returns on the Company's stock relative to broader market indices (e.g., S&P 500). Assumed health care cost trend rates could have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the other retiree benefit plans. A one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Plan Assets. Our target asset allocation for the year ending June 30, 2006 and actual asset allocation by asset category as of June 30, 2005, and 2004, are as follows:

Our investment objective for defined benefit plan assets is to meet the plans' benefit obligations, while minimizing the potential for future required Company plan contributions. The investment strategies focus on asset class diversification, liquidity to meet benefit payments and an appropriate balance of long-term investment return and risk. Target ranges for asset allocations are determined by matching the actuarial projections of the plan's future liabilities and benefit payments with expected long-term rates of return on the assets, taking into account investment return volatility and correlations across asset classes. Plan assets are diversified across several investment managers and are generally invested in liquid funds that are selected to track broad market equity and bond indices. Investment risk is carefully controlled with plan assets rebalanced to target allocations on a periodic basis and continual monitoring of investment managers performance relative to the investment guidelines established with each investment manager. Cash Flows. Management's best estimate of our cash requirements for the defined benefit plans and other retiree benefit plans for the year ending June 30, 2006 is $241 and $18, respectively. For the defined benefit plans, this is comprised of expected benefit payments of $83, which are paid directly to participants of unfunded plans from employer assets, as well as expected contributions to funded plans of $158. For other retiree benefit plans, this is comprised of expected contributions that will be used directly for benefit payments. Expected contributions are dependent on many variables, including the variability of the market value of the plan assets as compared to the benefit obligation and other market or regulatory conditions. In addition, we take into consideration our business investment opportunities and resulting cash requirements. Accordingly, actual funding may differ significantly from current estimates. Total benefit payments expected to be paid to participants, which include payments funded from the Company's assets, as discussed above, as well as payments paid from the plans are as follows:
Years ended June 30 -------------------------------- Other Retiree Pension Benefits Benefits ---------------- ------------- EXPECTED BENEFIT PAYMENTS 2006 $ 191 $ 152 2007 209 164 2008 226 177 2009 243 188 2010 255 198 2011-2015 1,489 1,150
Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Company maintains the ESOP to provide funding for certain employee benefits discussed in the preceding paragraphs. The ESOP borrowed $1.00 billion in 1989 and the proceeds were used to purchase Series A ESOP Convertible Class A Preferred Stock to fund a portion of the defined contribution retirement plan in the U.S. Principal and interest requirements were paid by the Trust from dividends on the preferred shares and from advances from the Company. The final payment for the original borrowing of $1.00 billion was made in 2004 and the remaining debt of the ESOP consists of amounts owed to the Company. Each share is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of the Company's common stock. The dividend for the current year was $1.03 per share. The liquidation value is $6.82 per share. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. 58 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In 1991, the ESOP borrowed an additional $1.00 billion. The proceeds were used to purchase Series B ESOP Convertible Class A Preferred Stock to fund a portion of retiree health care benefits. These shares are considered plan assets, net of the associated debt, of the Other Retiree Benefits plan discussed above. Debt service requirements are funded by preferred stock dividends and cash contributions and advances from the Company. Each share is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of the Company's common stock. The dividend for the current year was $1.05 per share. The liquidation value is $12.96 per share. As permitted by Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6, "Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans," we have elected, where applicable, to continue our practices, which are based on SOP 76-3, "Accounting Practices for Certain Employee Stock Ownership Plans." ESOP debt, which is guaranteed by the Company, is recorded as debt (see Note 5). Preferred shares issued to the ESOP are offset by the Reserve for ESOP Debt Retirement in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity. Advances to the ESOP are recorded as an increase in the Reserve for ESOP Debt Retirement. Interest incurred on the ESOP debt is recorded as interest expense. Dividends on all preferred shares, net of related tax benefits, are charged to retained earnings. As required by SOP 76-3, the preferred shares of the ESOP are allocated based on debt service requirements, net of advances made by the Company to the Trust. The number of preferred shares outstanding at June 30, was as follows:
June 30 -------------------------- Shares in Thousands 2005 2004 2003 - ------------------- ------ ------ ------ Allocated 61,904 62,511 64,492 Unallocated 25,623 28,296 31,534 ------ ------ ------ TOTAL SERIES A 87,527 90,807 96,026 ------ ------ ------ Allocated 21,989 21,399 20,648 Unallocated 46,338 48,528 50,718 ------ ------ ------ TOTAL SERIES B 68,327 69,927 71,366 ------ ------ ------
For purposes of calculating diluted net earnings per common share, the preferred shares held by the ESOP are considered converted from inception. Diluted net earnings are calculated assuming that all preferred shares are converted to common, and therefore are adjusted to reflect the incremental ESOP funding that would be required due to the difference in dividend rate between preferred and common shares (see Note 7). NOTE 9 INCOME TAXES Under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and for the impact of deferred tax liabilities and assets, which represent future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using the enacted statutory tax rates and are adjusted for changes in such rates in the period of change. Earnings before income taxes consisted of the following:

Management judgment is required in determining tax provisions and evaluating tax positions. Management believes its tax positions and related provisions reflected in the consolidated financial statements are fully supportable. We establish reserves for additional income taxes that may be challenged by local authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite our belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. In such cases, the reserves for additional taxes are based on management's best estimate of the ultimate outcome. These reserves are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress on tax audits, changes in interpretations of tax laws, developments in case law and closing of statutes of limitations. Our tax provision includes the impact of recording reserves and any changes thereto. We have a number of tax audits in process and have open tax years with various significant taxing jurisdictions that range primarily from 1993 to 2005. Although the results of current tax audits and adjustments from other tax positions related to open tax years have not been finalized, we believe based on currently available information that the ultimate outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified.

Taxes impacted shareholders' equity with credits of $275 and $351 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These primarily relate to the tax effects of net investment hedges and the minimum pension liability and tax benefits from the exercise of stock options. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "AJCA") permits U.S. corporations to repatriate earnings of foreign subsidiaries at a one-time favorable effective federal statutory tax rate of 5.25% as compared to the highest corporate tax rate of 35%. We plan to repatriate approximately $7.2 billion in earnings previously considered indefinitely invested. The income tax expense associated with this repatriation is $295 for the year ended June 30, 2005. We have undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $10.3 billion at June 30, 2005, for which deferred taxes have not been provided. Such earnings are considered indefinitely invested in the foreign subsidiaries. If such earnings were repatriated, additional tax expense may result, although the calculation of such additional taxes is not practicable. The amount of unremitted earnings for which no tax has been provided decreased in 2005 due to our repatriation plan under the AJCA. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities were comprised of the following:

Net operating loss carryforwards were $1,418 and $1,398 at June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. If unused, $505 will expire between 2006 and 2025. The remainder, totaling $913 at June 30, 2005, may be carried forward indefinitely. NOTE 10 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees In conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures, we may provide routine indemnifications (e.g., retention of previously existing environmental, tax and employee liabilities) whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated and, as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of divestiture, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In certain situations, we guarantee loans for suppliers and customers. The total amount of guarantees issued under such arrangements is not material. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. 60 The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, under FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," that have a material impact on our financial statements. Purchase Commitments We have purchase commitments for materials, supplies, services and property, plant and equipment as part of the normal course of business. Due to the proprietary nature of many of our materials and processes, certain supply contracts contain penalty provisions for early termination. We do not expect to incur penalty payments under these provisions that would materially affect our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations in any individual year. Operating Leases We lease certain property and equipment for varying periods. Future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows: 2006 - $215; 2007 - $162; 2008 - $126; 2009 - $114; 2010 - $101; and $259 thereafter. Litigation We are subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to matters such as governmental regulations, income taxes and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. We are also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require us to take action to correct the effects on the environment of prior manufacturing and waste disposal practices. Accrued environmental liabilities were not material. While considerable uncertainty exists, in the opinion of management and our counsel, the ultimate resolution of the various lawsuits and claims will not materially affect our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. NOTE 11 SEGMENT INFORMATION We are organized under three Global Business Units as follows: - - P&G Beauty includes retail and professional hair care, skin care, feminine care, cosmetics, fine fragrances and personal cleansing. - - P&G Family Health includes the Health Care and Baby Care and Family Care businesses. Health Care includes oral care, personal health care, pharmaceuticals and pet health and nutrition. Baby Care and Family Care includes diapers, baby wipes, bath tissue and kitchen towels. - - P&G Household Care includes the Fabric Care and Home Care and Snacks and Coffee businesses. Fabric Care and Home Care includes laundry detergents, dish care, fabric enhancers, surface care and air care. Snacks and Coffee includes coffee, snacks and commercial products. Under U.S. GAAP, we have five reportable segments: P&G Beauty; Health Care; Baby Care and Family Care; Fabric Care and Home Care; and Snacks and Coffee. The accounting policies of the businesses are generally the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Differences from these policies and U.S. GAAP primarily reflect: income taxes, which are reflected in the businesses using estimated local statutory rates; the recording of fixed assets at historical exchange rates in certain high inflation economies; and the treatment of certain unconsolidated investees. Certain unconsolidated investees are managed as integral parts of our business units for management reporting purposes. Accordingly, these partially owned operations are reflected as consolidated subsidiaries in business results, with 100% recognition of the individual income statement line items through before-tax earnings. Eliminations to adjust these line items to U.S. GAAP are included in Corporate. In determining after-tax earnings for the businesses, we eliminate the share of earnings applicable to other ownership interests, in a manner similar to minority interest, and apply statutory tax rates. Adjustments to arrive at our effective tax rate are included in Corporate. Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities that are not reflected in the operating results used internally to measure and evaluate the businesses, as well as eliminations to adjust management reporting principles to U.S. GAAP. Operating activities in Corporate include the results of incidental businesses managed at the corporate level along with the elimination of individual revenues and expenses generated by companies over which we exert significant influence, but do not control. Operating elements also comprise certain employee benefit costs and other general corporate items. The non-operating elements include financing and investing activities. In addition, Corporate includes the historical results of certain divested businesses, including the Juice business, which was divested in August of 2004. Corporate assets primarily include cash, investment securities and goodwill. We had net sales in the U.S. of $25,342, $23,688 and $21,853 for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Assets in the U.S. totaled $25,399 and $23,687 as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates, accounted for 16%, 17% and 18% of consolidated net sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise specified. The Procter & Gamble Company and Subsidiaries 61 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note: "Side A coverage" refers to D&O insurance coverage that provides direct coverage to insured directors and officers for claims for which the insured company is unable or unwilling to indemnify the insured individuals. For example, the law in many states prohibits a company from indemnifying its directors or officers for shareholder derivative claims. "Side B coverage" refers to D&O coverage that indemnifies the insured company or corporation, typically in excess of a deductible, for sums that the company or corporation spends to indemnify insured directors or officers for allegedly wrongful acts covered by the terms of D&O insurance. "Side C coverage" refers to direct entity coverage provided to the insured company or corporation itself when a claim is brought against the company or corporation itself for allegedly wrongful acts covered by the terms of D&O insurance.
