(a) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice given by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (i) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, on the day of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) whether the Revolving Credit Borrowing is to be a Dollar Revolving Loan or a Euro Revolving Loan, (C) the Borrower making the Borrowing, (D) the aggregate amount of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, (E) whether any portion of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (F) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Dollar Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.15 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing of Euro Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 in excess thereof. The Borrowers may not request more than fifteen (15) Revolving Credit Borrowings per month in the form of Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(b) Each Term Loan Borrowing shall be made upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing given by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (i) on the same Business Day of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days prior to the day of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (A) the date of the proposed Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Term Loan Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Term Loan Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (D) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each Term Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. The Term Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless (subject to Section 2.15 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans)) the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.15(a) (Determination of Interest Rate). Each Lender shall, (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, before 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.), in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 12.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.)) (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit) and (ii) at any time (including the Closing Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the U.S. Borrower.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the U.S. Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the U.S. Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the U.S. Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the U.S. Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement and such repayment shall relieve the U.S. Borrower’s obligation with respect to the principal portion of such amount. If the U.S. Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the U.S. Borrower.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified (each such Lender, until such payment is made, a “Non-Funding Lender”), including any payment in respect of its participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Swing Loans

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender shall make loans (each a “Swing Loan”) to the Euro Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Such Swing Loans shall be denominated in any Alternate Currency and in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Dollar Equivalent of which shall not exceed the Swing Loan Sublimit; provided, however, that at no time shall the Swing Loan Lender make any Swing Loan in an amount in excess of the Dollar Equivalent of the Available Credit. Each Swing Loan must be paid in full upon any Revolving Credit Borrowing by the applicable Euro Borrower hereunder and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).

(b) In order to request a Swing Loan, a Borrower shall telecopy (or forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Swing Loan Lender a duly completed request in substantially the form of Exhibit G (Form of Swing Loan Request), setting forth the requested amount, currency and date of such Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan Request”), to be received by the Swing Loan Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (London time) on the day of the proposed borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender agrees to make, on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request, a Swing Loan available to the Euro Borrower specified in such Swing Loan Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

(c) The Swing Loan Lender may demand at any time that each Revolving Credit Lender pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, in the manner provided in clause (d) below, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of all or a portion of the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding Swing Loans, which demand shall be made through the Administrative Agent, shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans demanded to be paid and the Dollar Equivalent (as determined by the Swing Loan Lender) of such outstanding principal amount if such Swing Loans are denominated in an Alternate Currency.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall forward each demand referred to in clause (c) above to each Revolving Credit Lender on the day such demand is received by the Administrative Agent (except that any such demand received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to the Revolving Credit Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the next succeeding Business Day), together with a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent specifying the amount in Dollars of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) and Section 2.1(a) (The Commitments) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Revolving Credit Lender’s receipt of such demand, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds in Dollars, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except as provided in clause (e) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan in Dollars in an amount equal to such payment to the applicable Euro Borrower or Euro Borrowers (and the U.S. Borrower and each applicable Euro Borrower hereby authorizes the making of such Revolving Loan). The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the applicable Euro Borrower or Euro Borrowers shall repay such Swing Loan or Swing Loans, as the case may be, on demand.

(e) If for any reason the Swing Loans cannot be refinanced by such Revolving Loans in accordance with clause (d) above, each Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (d) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Dollar Equivalent of such Swing Loan, by paying in Dollars to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (d) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan (and, concurrently with such acquisition, such Swing Loan shall be automatically converted to Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Swing Loan). If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans.

FMC CORPORATION

(f) From and after the date on which any Revolving Credit Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (d) above with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swing Loan Lender on account of such Swing Loan (all of which such payments shall be made in Dollars, regardless of the currency in which such Swing Loan was originally made) other than those received from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (d) or (e) above. If any payment received and so distributed by the Swing Loan Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Loan Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.14 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Loan Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Loan Lender its Ratable Portion thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent shall make such demand upon the request of the Swing Loan Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Swing Loan Lender may from time to time make loans to the Euro Borrowers pursuant to an overdraft, autoborrow or similar arrangement (the “Overdraft Facility”). The loans made pursuant to the Overdraft Facility (the “Overdraft Advances”) shall be deemed Swing Loans for all purposes hereof and shall be subject to all of the provisions hereto; provided that (1) provisions relating to the fact that the Overdraft Facility is an uncommitted facility shall prevail; (2) the borrowing procedures set forth in the Overdraft Documents shall prevail in the event of any conflict between such borrowing procedures and Section 2.3(b); (3) the optional prepayment provisions set forth in the Overdrafts Documents shall prevail in the event of any conflict between such provisions and Section 2.9(a) (Optional Prepayments); (4) any mandatory prepayment provisions set forth in the Overdraft Documents shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of or replacement of, the mandatory prepayment provisions set forth in Section 2.10 (Mandatory Prepayments); and (5) interest on each Overdraft Advance shall be due and payable in arrears on each date set forth in the Overdraft Documents in the event of any conflict between such interest payment dates and the interest payment dates set forth herein.

(h) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Loan Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Euro Borrowers to repay Swing Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(i) The Swing Loan Lender may resign at any time upon not less than 90 days’ prior written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, during which period the Swing Loan Lender shall cooperate with the U.S. Borrower in putting in place a new Swing Loan Lender designated by the U.S. Borrower and acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Swing Loan Lender shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Swing Loan Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3. If no such Swing Loan Lender is appointed prior to the effectiveness of such resignation, no Euro Borrower shall be entitled to request Swing Loans until such a Swing Loan Lender is appointed.

Section 2.4 Competitive Bid Loans

(a) In addition to Borrowings of Revolving Loans, at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the U.S. Borrower may request the Revolving Credit Lenders to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the U.S. Borrower in Dollars. The Revolving Credit Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the U.S. Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.4. Competitive Bid Loans may be Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Absolute Rate Loans (each a “Type” of Competitive Bid Loan), provided; however, that (i) there may be no more than ten (10) different Interest Periods for both Revolving Loans and Competitive Bid Loans outstanding at the same time; (ii) after giving effect to any Competitive Bid Loan, the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; and (iii) no Competitive Bid Loan shall have a maturity date occurring after the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) The U.S. Borrower shall request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans by providing the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders) notice (a “Competitive Bid Quote Request”) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on (x) the third Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a Eurocurrency Auction or (y) the Business Day next preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may agree). The U.S. Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for up to two different Interest Periods in a single notice; provided, however, that the request for each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate Competitive Bid Quote Request for a separate borrowing (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing”). There shall not be outstanding at any one time more than four Competitive Bid Borrowings. Each such Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H (Form of Competitive Bid Quote Request) hereto and shall specify as to each Competitive Bid Borrowing: (i) the proposed date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (ii) the aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, which shall be at least $5,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); (iii) the Interest Period applicable thereto; and (iv) if the Competitive Bid Quotes requested are seeking quotes for the Absolute Rate, the date on which the Competitive Bid Quotes are to be submitted (the date on which such Competitive Bid Quotes are to be submitted is called the “Quotation Date”). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4(b), no Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be given within five (5) Business Days (or such other number of days as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may agree) of any other Competitive Bid Quote Request.

(c) (i) Each Revolving Credit Lender may submit one or more Competitive Bid Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Competitive Bid Loan in response to any Competitive Bid Quote Request; provided, however, that, if the U.S. Borrower’s request under Section 2.4(b) hereof specified more than one Interest Period, such Revolving Credit Lender may make a single submission containing one or more Competitive Bid Quotes for each such Interest Period. Each Competitive Bid Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than (A) 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Auction or (B) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Quotation Date, in the case of a Absolute Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may agree). Except as otherwise provided herein, any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the U.S. Borrower.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I (Form of Competitive Bid Quote) hereto and shall specify: (A) the proposed date of Borrowing and the Interest Period therefor; (B) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount shall be at least $5,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans for which a Revolving Credit Lender submits Competitive Bid Quotes may not exceed the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested; (C) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Auction, the margin above or below the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period designated in accordance with clause (A) above (the “Eurodollar Margin”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, expressed as a percentage (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from the applicable Eurocurrency Rate; and (D) in the case of a Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan (the “Absolute Rate”).

(iii) Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, no Competitive Bid Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Competitive Bid Quote Request, and no Competitive Bid Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the U.S. Borrower of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which such Competitive Bid Quote is being made.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Auction, by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day a Competitive Bid Quote is submitted or (y) in the case of a Absolute Rate Auction, as promptly as practicable after the Competitive Bid Quote is submitted (but in any event not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Quotation Date), notify the U.S. Borrower of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Revolving Credit Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.4(c) hereof and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the U.S. Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing for which orders have been received and (B) the respective principal amounts and Eurodollar Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered by each Revolving Credit Lender (identifying the Revolving Credit Lender that made each Competitive Bid Quote).

(e) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on (x) the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Auction or (y) the Quotation Date, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may agree), the U.S. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof (and the failure of the U.S. Borrower to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Revolving Credit Lender. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The U.S. Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (provided that any Competitive Bid Quote accepted in part shall be at least $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); provided, however, that: (i) the aggregate principal

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request; (ii) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be at least $5,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); (iii) acceptance of offers may be made only in ascending order of Eurodollar Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered and (iv) the U.S. Borrower may not accept any offer where the Administrative Agent has advised the U.S. Borrower that such offer fails to comply with Section 2.4(c)(ii) hereof or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.4(a) hereof). If offers are made by two or more Revolving Credit Lenders with the same Eurodollar Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period after the acceptance of all offers, if any, of all lower Eurodollar Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, offered by any Revolving Credit Lender for such related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the U.S. Borrower among such Revolving Credit Lenders as nearly as possible (in amounts of at least $5,000,000 or larger multiples of $1,000,000 in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers. Determinations by the U.S. Borrower of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans and the lowest bid after adjustment as provided in this clause (e) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f) Any Revolving Credit Lender whose offer to make any Competitive Bid Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified for the making of such Revolving Credit Loan, make the amount of such Competitive Bid Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, for account of the U.S. Borrower. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the U.S. Borrower on such date by depositing the same, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, in an account of the U.S. Borrower maintained at the Principal Office.

(g) If any Competitive Bid Loan is not repaid by the U.S. Borrower at the end of the Interest Period therefor, so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2 (Borrowing Procedures) equal to the amount of the Competitive Bid Loan the Interest Period of which is then ending. Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower in accordance with the procedures of Section 2.2 (Borrowing Procedures), such Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be of Base Rate Loans.

Section 2.5 Letters of Credit

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, $250,000,000 of the Revolving Credit Facility is available (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”) for the issuance of letters of credit, in Dollars or Euros, for the account of a Borrower (the “Letter of Credit Sub-Facility”) and each Issuer agrees to Issue at the request of one or more Borrowers one or more letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on or before the day that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit will have a termination date that is later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, nor will any such Letter of Credit have a term longer than one calendar year after the date of issuance thereof other than those letters of credit separately indentified on Schedule 2.5 (Existing Letters of Credit) issued to support IRB Obligations (which letters of credit may have a term of up to 13 months or up to 18 months as required by such IRB Obligation), provided, further, that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one calendar year periods, subject to the immediately preceding proviso.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

Borrower receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person.

(i) In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower shall not have repaid the Dollar Equivalent of such amount to such Issuer pursuant to clause (h) or any such payment by such Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment in Dollars (based upon the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the date of such payment) and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to applicable Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the U.S. Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (i), such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Credit Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(j) If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (i) above, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility.

(k) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that such Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, such Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.5, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the applicable Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

(l) Schedule 2.5 (Existing Letters of Credit) contains a schedule of all of the letters of credit issued prior to the Closing Date for the account of the U.S. Borrower. On the Closing Date (i) such letters of credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto converted to Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this clause Section 2.5 for the account of the U.S. Borrower and subject to the provisions hereof, and for this purpose the fees specified in clause (b) of Section 2.13 (Fees) shall be payable (in substitution for any fees set forth in the applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such letters of credit) as if such letters of credit had been issued on the Closing Date, other than fees with respect to issuance, amendment or transfer that might otherwise apply as the result of such letters of credit being treated as if issued on the Closing Date, (ii) the amount of such letters of credit shall be included in the calculation of Letter of Credit Obligations and (iii) all liabilities of the U.S. Borrower with respect to such letters of credit shall constitute Reimbursement Obligations and/or Obligations.

Section 2.14 Payments and Computations

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in Dollars or Euros (depending on the denomination of the Obligation being paid), to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) or (f) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 (Capital Adequacy), 2.17 (Taxes) or Section 2.15(c) (Increased Costs) or (d) (Illegality) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest (other than the Overdraft Advance Interest Rate) and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

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

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the U.S. Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the applicable Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first Business Day after such demand, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

Third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

Fifth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts, Cash Management Obligations, and Obligations owing with respect to Hedging Contracts; and

Sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of the foregoing clauses first through sixth, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s and Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that the funds allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders and Issuers shall be used to pay, first, interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans which the

Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the applicable Borrower (unless the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Lender, prior to making such Advance, a notice of the type described in Section 2.2(d)), and this proviso and the order of priority set forth in clauses first through second of this Section 2.14(f) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders and the Requisite Term Loan Lenders. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through sixth of this Section 2.14(f) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders and the Requisite Term Loan Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by any Borrower or any other Person.

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

Section 2.15 Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans

(a) Determination of Interest Rate

The Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the U.S. Borrower.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair

In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans in Dollars or Euros, as applicable, for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurocurrency Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars (regardless of currency) and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Illegality

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans are then outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.15(d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The applicable Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Deposits in Euros Unavailable

Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.2 (Borrowing Procedures) to the contrary, if the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) two Business Days before the date of any requested Borrowing of Euro Revolving Loans, notify the Administrative Agent that the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders are not satisfied that deposits in Euros will be freely available in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period, the right of the Euro Borrowers to request Euro Revolving Loans from the Revolving Credit Lenders as part of such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing of Euro Revolving Loans shall be suspended until the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and, at the option of the Euro Borrowers, either (i) the applicable Notice of Borrowing may be withdrawn and such Borrowing shall not be made or (ii) the Euro Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender as part of such Borrowing (and the Euro Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender as part of any subsequent Borrowing of Euro Revolving Loans that shall have been requested during such period of suspension) shall be a Dollar Revolving Loan. Each Euro Borrower agrees that all such Dollar Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by the applicable Euro Borrower if such Euro Borrower does not withdraw the applicable Notice of Borrowing within two Business Days of receiving notice from the Administrative Agent that the right of the Euro Borrowers to request Euro Revolving Loans from such Lender has been suspended. If a Euro Borrower elects to withdraw its Notice of Borrowing, such Borrower shall be liable to each Revolving Credit Lender for any damages suffered on account thereof of a nature described in this Section 2.15. The Administrative Agent shall, upon receiving notice from the Requisite Lenders that the circumstances causing any such suspension no longer

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

apply, promptly so notify the Euro Borrowers; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to so notify the Euro Borrowers shall not impair the rights of the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause (e) of Section 2.15 or expose the Administrative Agent to any liability.

(f) Breakage Costs

In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11 (Interest), each Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the U.S. Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Euro Borrower) or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.12 (Conversion/Continuation Option), or any other conversion or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is prepaid (including, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.10 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by any Borrower to repay Eurocurrency Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error. Each Lender that is an Existing Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement hereby waives any and all breakage costs referenced in Section 2.15(f) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

Section 2.16 Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

Section 2.17 Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes

imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized and (B) any United States withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any United States withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection (other than on account of this Agreement) between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17 such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

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

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to assist any Loan Party in obtaining any refunds from any Governmental Authority for any Taxes or Other Taxes improperly imposed on or asserted against a Lender or the Administrative Agent for which such Loan Party has made an indemnification payment under this Section 2.17(c). Upon receipt of any such refund, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay the applicable Loan Party the amount of such refund.

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

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under the Guaranties, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.17 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

case of each other Non-U.S. Lender and from time to time thereafter if requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers with two completed originals of each of the following: (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form, (ii) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form, (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall, on or before the date that any such form, certification or document expires or becomes obsolete, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certification or document previously delivered by it to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers with two completed copies of an updated form, certificate or document. Unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.18 Substitution of Lenders

(a) In the event that (i)(A) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.15(c)(Increased Costs) or Section 2.16 (Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurocurrency Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(d) (Illegality), (C) any Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.17 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of clause (i)(A), (B) and (C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Lenders holding at least 75% of the Term Loan Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the U.S. Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, if such Lender is to be a Revolving Credit Lender, the Swing Loan Lender, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i)(A), (B), (C) or (D) above by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the U.S. Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the U.S. Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the U.S. Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the U.S. Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the U.S. Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.18, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims hereunder) shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, the Term Loans, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the U.S. Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (ii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date. Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having Commitments in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitments assumed by it and such Commitments of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender.

(c) Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

Guarantied Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, assert any claim or counterclaim it may have against any Euro Borrower or set off any of its obligations to any Euro Borrower against any obligations of any Euro Borrower to it. In connection with the foregoing, the Euro Borrower Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance.

Section 10.7 Reliance

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

Section 10.8 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution Rights

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

Section 10.9 Subordination

The Euro Borrower Guarantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (f) of Section 9.1 (Events of Default) any Indebtedness of any Euro Borrower now or hereafter owing to it, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Guaranty Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations, and that, except as expressly permitted by this agreement, the Guaranty Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect. The Euro Borrower Guarantor shall not accept any payment of or on account of any Guaranty Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in clause (f) of Section 9.1 (Events of Default), each Euro Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any payment of all or any part of the Guaranty Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent shall be applied to payment of the Obligations as provided in clause (g) of Section 2.14 (Payments and Computations). Each payment on the Guaranty Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by the Euro Borrower Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent immediately on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner the Euro Borrower Guarantor’s liability under this Article X. The Euro Borrower Guarantor agrees to file all claims against the Euro Borrowers in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Guaranty Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of Euro Borrower Guarantor’s rights thereunder. If for any reason the Euro Borrower Guarantor fails to file such claim at least ten Business

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, the Euro Borrower Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in the Euro Borrower Guarantor’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, the Euro Borrower Guarantor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of the Euro Borrower Guarantor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which the Euro Borrower Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than the Euro Borrower Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto.

Section 10.10 Default; Remedies

The obligations of the Euro Borrower Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Obligations. Upon any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against the Euro Borrower Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations then due, without first proceeding against the defaulting Euro Borrower or Euro Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, or joining the defaulting Euro Borrower or Euro Borrowers or any other guarantor in any proceeding against any Subsidiary Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Guarantied Obligations, the Administrative Agent may (unless the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full), without notice to the Euro Borrower Guarantor, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guarantied Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Guarantied Party to the Euro Borrower Guarantor and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to the Euro Borrower Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates.

This guaranty set forth in this Article X shall be irrevocable as to any and all of the Guarantied Obligations until the Commitments have been terminated and all monetary Guarantied Obligations then outstanding have been irrevocably repaid in cash.

Section 10.12 Setoff

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

Section 10.13 No Marshaling

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

Section 10.14 Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers

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

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuers, the U.S. Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not

Section 11.4 The Administrative Agent Individually

With respect to its Ratable Portion, CUSA shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Term Loan Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, a Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders.

Section 11.7 Successor Administrative Agent

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the U.S. Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the U.S. Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility.

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

for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (b) above, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or an assignee’s right title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 12.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). Solely for purposes of this and for tax purposes only, the Administrative Agent shall act as the U.S. Borrower’s agent for purposes of maintaining such notations of transfer in the Register.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the U.S. Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Credit Note), Exhibit B-2 (Form of Swing Loan Note), Exhibit B-3 (Form of Competitive Bid Loan Note) and Exhibit B-4 (Form of Term Note), as applicable.

(f) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 12.2, each Lender may (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (x) any Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (y) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower and (z) to any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees

that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (g) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations).

(g) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation (other than the participation sold on the Closing Date by CoBank, ACB to Farm Credit Services of America, PCA in the amount of $15,000,000) shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation. In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.17 (Taxes) and of Section 2.15(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the U.S. Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Sections 2.16 (Capital Adequacy), 2.17 (Taxes) or 2.15(d) (Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) any payment in excess of the amount the U.S. Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold.

(h) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 12.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.2, no Lender shall make any assignment of, or participate any interest in, any Loan or Commitment to the Euro Borrowers to any Person if such Person is not a “professional market party” under the Dutch Act on the Supervision of the Credit System 1992 (“ASCS”) and the Exemption Regulation promulgated pursuant to the ASCS (Vrijstellingsregeling Wet Toezicht Kredietwezen 1992).

Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning any U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer.

(b) The U.S. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuers for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In the event that such Indemnitee requests the U.S. Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the U.S. Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC CORPORATION

No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the U.S. Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

(d) The U.S. Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 12.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 12.5 Limitation of Liability

The U.S. Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, the Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful breach of the Loan Documents. The U.S. Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to ▇▇▇ upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 12.6 Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the U.S. Borrower against any and all of the Obligations or of a Euro Borrower against any and all of such Euro Borrower’s Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the U.S. Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 12.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 12.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 12.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans), 2.16 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.17 (Taxes)) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and

such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation 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.

(c) The U.S. Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 12.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the U.S. Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 12.9 No Waiver; Remedies

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

Section 12.10 Binding Effect

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and Issuer that such Lender or Issuer has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuer and, in each case, their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the U.S. Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

Section 12.11 Governing Law

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Section 12.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process

(a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the U.S. Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to any Borrower in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, the Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Process Agent or the Borrower at its address specified in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.). Each Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(d) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given, for the purchase of Dollars, for delivery two Business Days thereafter. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Lender shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Required Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in a currency other than the currency required by this Agreement (the “Required Currency”), the Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Required Currency with such other currency. If the amount so purchased is less than the sum originally due in the Required Currency, each Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender against such loss. Each Borrower’s liability hereunder constitutes a separate and independent liability which shall not merge with any judgment or any partial payment or enforcement of payment of sums due under this Agreement.

Section 12.13 Waiver of Jury Trial

EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUERS AND THE U.S. BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

Section 12.14 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside

None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the U.S. Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the U.S. Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers or any such Person exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 12.15 Section Titles

The section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto, except when used to reference a section. Any reference to the number of a clause, sub-clause or subsection hereof immediately followed by a reference in parenthesis to the title of the Section containing such clause, sub-clause or subsection is a reference to such clause, sub-clause or subsection and not to the entire Section; provided, however, that, in case of direct conflict between the reference to the title and the reference to the number of such Section, the reference to the title shall govern absent manifest error.

Re:

FMC Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to FMC Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), and the parties identified on Schedule I hereto (together with the U.S. Borrower, the “Loan Parties”) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the U.S. Borrower, The Foreign Subsidiaries Party Thereto From Time to Time (together with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the Lenders and Issuers party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc., as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (the “Administrative Agent”), Wachovia Bank, National Association and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as co-documentation agents, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, National City Bank, Societe Generale, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and DnB NOR Bank ASA, as co-agents, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and Wachovia Securities, Inc., as co-lead arrangers and co-book managers.

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

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

the Credit Agreement;

10.

the Term Loan Notes and the Revolving Credit Notes issued by the Borrowers on the date hereof, if any; and

11.

the U.S. Subsidiary Guaranty.

The agreements specified in clauses (a) through (c) above are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”

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

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

We have further assumed that each of the Agreements has been duly and validly executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto other than the Loan Parties and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of all parties thereto other than the Loan Parties.

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

1. Each of the U.S. Borrower, the Delaware Loan Party Corporations and the Delaware Loan Party Limited Liability Companies (as defined in Schedule I) is a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to own, lease and operate its properties and to transact the business in which we understand it is now engaged.

2. Each of the Wyoming Loan Party Corporations and the Wyoming Loan Party Limited Liability Companies (as defined in Schedule I) is a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Wyoming and has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to own, lease and operate its properties and to transact the business in which we understand it is now engaged.

3. Each Loan Party has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreements to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Agreements to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, on the part of such Loan Party and such Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party.

4. Each Agreement to which a Loan Party is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.

5. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Agreements to which it is a party will not conflict with, constitute a default under or violate (i) any provisions of the Constituent Documents of such Loan Party, (ii) any provisions of the Indenture or the indentures governing the Existing Public Debt, (iii) to our knowledge any other material

Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party, (iv) the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the laws of the State of New York, the State of Wyoming, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States, which are applicable to such Loan Party and are, in our experience, normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Agreements, or (v) any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any court or Governmental Authority applicable to such Loan Party and of which we have knowledge.

6. No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with any New York, Wyoming, Pennsylvania or federal Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the Agreements to which it is a party.

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

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

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

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

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

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

As used in paragraphs 5, 6 and 9, the term “Governmental Authority” does not include any political subdivision of a state.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York, the State of Wyoming, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States. To the extent that any opinion herein relates to matters governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, we have relied exclusively upon an opinion issued to us by Holland & ▇▇▇▇ LLP of even date herewith, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A.

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

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

Form of U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee

U.S. Subsidiary Guaranty

U.S. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, dated as of June , 2005, by each of the entities listed on the signature pages hereof or that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 23 (Additional Subsidiary Guarantors) hereof (each a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), in favor of (i) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) and (ii) each other holder of an Obligation (as defined below) (each, a “Guarantied Party” and, collectively, the “Guarantied Parties”).

W i t n e s s e t h:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of June , 2005 (together with all appendices, exhibits and schedules thereto and as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms defined therein and used herein having the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement) among FMC CORPORATION (the “U.S. Borrower”), the Euro Borrowers party thereto, the Lenders and Issuers party thereto and Citicorp USA, Inc., as agent for the Lenders and Issuers, the Lenders and Issuers have severally agreed to make extensions of credit to the Borrowers (as defined in the Credit Agreement) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, each Subsidiary Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower;

WHEREAS, each Subsidiary Guarantor will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the making of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the granting of the other financial accommodations to the Borrowers under the Credit Documents; and

WHEREAS, a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders and the Issuers to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement is that the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this U.S. Subsidiary Guaranty (this “Guaranty”) for the benefit of the Guarantied Parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1 Guaranty

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or any other Credit Document, of all the “Obligations” as defined in the Credit Agreement (the

FMC CORPORATION

“Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, whether or not enforceable as against the Borrowers, whether now or hereafter existing, and whether due or to become due, including principal, interest (including interest at the contract rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding), fees and costs of collection. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, if any payment made by the Borrowers or any other person and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered, this Guaranty shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

Section 2 Limitation of Guaranty

Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations for which any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Subsidiary Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Credit Document, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect (a) to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to the Borrowers to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) and (b) to the value as assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable Requirements of Law, (ii) Section 3 (Contribution) of this Guaranty or (iii) any other Contractual Obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any Borrower of obligations arising under this Guaranty or other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations by such parties.

Section 3 Contribution

To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans and (b) the amount such Subsidiary Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by any Borrower) in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worths of such other Subsidiary Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is sought.

(l) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor or any other obligor on any obligations, other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 6 Waivers

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, notice of acceptance and any other notice in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not, until the Guaranteed Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, assert any claim or counterclaim it may have against any Borrower or set off any of its obligations to any Borrower against any obligations of any Borrower to it. In connection with the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance.

Section 7 Reliance

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

Section 9 Subordination

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that any Indebtedness of the Borrowers now or hereafter owing to any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Guaranteed Obligations and that in the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and this Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall accept any payment of or on account of any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent any payment of all or any part of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent shall be applied to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Section 2.14(f) (Payments and Computations) of the Credit Agreement. Each payment on the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by such Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the Guarantied Parties and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent immediately on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereof. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to file all claims against any Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s rights thereunder. If for any reason a Subsidiary Guarantor fails to file such claim at least ten Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Subsidiary Guarantor’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Subsidiary Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of the Borrowers.

Section 10 Default; Remedies

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Guaranteed Obligations. If any Obligation is not paid when due, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default by any Borrower as provided in any other instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Subsidiary Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations then due, without first proceeding against any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or joining any Borrower or any other guarantor in any proceeding against any Subsidiary Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent may (unless the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full), without notice to any Subsidiary Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any collateral for the

payment thereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Guarantied Party to such Subsidiary Guarantor and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Subsidiary Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates.

Section 11 Irrevocability

This Guaranty shall be irrevocable as to the Guaranteed Obligations (or any part thereof) until the Commitments under the Loan Documents have been terminated and all monetary Guaranteed Obligations then outstanding have been irrevocably repaid in cash, at which time this Guaranty shall automatically be cancelled. Upon such cancellation and at the written request of any Subsidiary Guarantor or its successors or assigns, and at the cost and expense of such Subsidiary Guarantor or its successors or assigns, the Administrative Agent shall execute in a timely manner a satisfaction of this Guaranty and such instruments, documents or agreements as are necessary or desirable to evidence the termination of this Guaranty.

Section 12 Setoff

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

Section 13 No Marshalling

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

Section 14 Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers

No delay on the part of any Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy arising under this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or otherwise with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty of or security for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any such Person of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty shall be binding upon any Guarantied Party, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by the party making such modification or waiver. Failure by any Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person of any provision, warranty, term or condition contained in any Credit Document now or at any time hereafter executed by any such Persons and delivered to any Guarantied Party shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of any Guarantied Party, or its respective agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to the applicable Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is signed by the party or parties necessary to give such waiver

FMC CORPORATION

under the applicable Credit Document. No waiver of any Event of Default by any Guarantied Party shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or the same Event of Default on a future occasion, and no action by any Guarantied Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair any Guarantied Party’s rights and remedies or the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal or interest owing by a Borrower to a Guarantied Party shall be conclusive and binding on each Subsidiary Guarantor irrespective of whether such Subsidiary Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.

Section 16 Representations and Warranties; Covenants
