TERM LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of June 29, 2012 (as further amended, supplemented, modified or extended from time to time, this “Agreement”), among Avon Products, Inc., a New York corporation (“API” or the “Borrower”), each of the banks and other lenders from time to time parties hereto (each, a “Bank” and, collectively, the “Banks”) and the Administrative Agent (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, API has requested that, subject to certain conditions, the Administrative Agent and the Banks enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Banks are willing to enter into this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01. Certain Definitions.

(a) Terms Generally. The definitions ascribed to terms in this Section 1.01 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The words “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any exhibits and schedules hereto) and not merely to the specific section, paragraph or clause in which such word appears. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.

(b) Accounting Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 7.02(b), 7.02(c) and 7.02(d), such terms shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date of this Agreement applied on a basis consistent with the construction thereof applied in preparing the Borrower’s audited financial statements referred to in Section 5.01(d). In the event there shall occur a change in GAAP which but for the foregoing proviso would affect the computation used to determine compliance with any such covenant, the Borrower and the Banks agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that will permit compliance with such covenant to be determined by reference to GAAP as so changed while affording the Banks the protection afforded by such covenant prior to such change (it being understood, however, that such covenant shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its existing terms pending the execution by the Borrower and the Banks of any such amendment). For the avoidance of doubt, “operating leases” shall not be deemed to be Capital

Leases for the purposes of the covenants set forth in Sections 7.02(b), 7.02(c) and 7.02(d), notwithstanding any subsequent change in GAAP.

(c) Certain Other Terms. The following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below or in the Sections of this Agreement indicated below:

“ABR Lending Office” shall mean, with respect to each Bank, its office identified in its Administrative Questionnaire as its domestic lending office or such other office as such Bank may hereafter designate as its domestic lending office or ABR lending office by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

“ABR Loans” shall mean, collectively, Loans, or portions thereof, that bear interest by reference to the Base Rate and in the manner set forth in Section 3.02.

“Additional Amounts” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 4.04(a).

“Additional Costs” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 4.04(b).

“Administrative Agent” shall mean Citibank, N.A., together with its affiliates, as the administrative agent for the Banks under this Agreement and the Credit Documents.

“Applicable Lending Office” shall mean, with respect to any Bank, (a) in the case of its ABR Loans, its ABR Lending Office and (b) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, its Eurodollar Lending Office.

“Applicable Margin” shall mean, at any date and with respect to each Loan, the applicable percentage per annum set forth below under the heading “Eurodollar Margin” in the case of Eurodollar loans, or under the heading “ABR Margin,” in the case of ABR Loans, in each case based upon the ratings applicable on such date to API’s senior unsecured long-term debt:



		Eurodollar Margin	ABR Margin
Level I
Moody’s:	at least A2
or S&P:	A	1.250%	0.250%
Level II (Less than Level I but at least)
Moody’s:	A3
or S&P:	A-	1.500%	0.500%
Level III (Less than Level II but at least)
Moody’s:	Baa1
or S&P:	BBB+	2.000%	1.000%

or S&P:	BB+	2.750%	1.750%
Level VII
Moody’s:	Lower than Ba1
or S&P:	Lower than BB+	2.750%	1.750%

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if no rating for API’s senior unsecured long-term debt shall be available from either rating agency, such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a Level VII rating, (b) if the ratings established or deemed established by Moody’s and S&P shall fall within different Levels, the Applicable Margin shall be based upon the Level corresponding to the more favorable of such ratings except if the lower of such ratings is more than one Level below the higher of such ratings, the Applicable Margin shall be based upon the Level that is one Level above the lower of such ratings and (c) if any rating established or deemed established by Moody’s or S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of either Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be given effect on and as of the opening of business on the date when such change is first announced by the rating agency making such change. Each such change shall apply to all Loans outstanding at any time during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of either Moody’s or S&P shall change prior to the Maturity Date, API and the Banks shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such changed rating system.

THE LOANS

Section 2.01. The Loans; Commitments. (a) Each of the Banks, severally and not jointly with the other Banks, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, agrees to make a Loan denominated in Dollars to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Commitment. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Each Bank’s Commitment, as of the date of this Agreement, is set forth opposite its name in Schedule 2.01.

Section 2.02. Procedure for Borrowings. (a) The Borrower may request Loans by giving a Borrowing Request telephonically, to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 A.M., New York time (to be confirmed in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit A not later than 4:00 P.M. on the same day), (i) on the Borrowing Date therefor with respect to any ABR Loan and (ii) at least three Eurodollar Business Days before the Borrowing Date with respect to any Eurodollar Loan. Loans shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Upon receipt of any Borrowing Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice to each Bank of the substance thereof. Not later than 2:00 P.M., New York time, on the Borrowing Date specified in such Borrowing Request, each Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Applicable Lending Office of the Administrative Agent (or, if the Administrative Agent has specified a different address in the notice referred to above, at such address), such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans requested.

(c) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of all such funds, the Administrative Agent shall disburse to the Borrower on the requested Borrowing Date the Loans requested in such Borrowing Request. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, advance on behalf of any Bank such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Loans on a Borrowing Date unless such Bank shall have notified the Administrative Agent prior to such Borrowing Date that it does not intend to make available its Pro Rata Share of such Loans on such date. If the Administrative Agent makes such an advance, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from the Bank on whose behalf such advance was made, and if such Bank

does not pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such advance upon demand, the Borrower shall promptly repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, acting for the Banks. Until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent by such Bank or the Borrower, such advance shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Loan made by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from the Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on the amount advanced by it for each day from the Borrowing Date therefor until repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of an amount recovered from any Bank, the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) in the case of an amount recovered from the Borrower, the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 3.01. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made by it on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Bank shall be responsible for the failure by such Bank to make the Loan to be made by such Bank on such Borrowing Date.

Section 2.03. Evidence for Loans. (a) Each Bank shall maintain, in accordance with its customary and usual practice, accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank resulting from the Loan made by such Bank , including an indication of the Applicable Lending Office and the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank in respect of such Loan.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary and usual practice, at its address referred to in Section 10.06, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of (i) the amount of each Loan, the interest rate options and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder, (iii) the amount of any payments received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Bank’s share thereof and (iv) with respect to each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to the Administrative Agent, the name and address of the Assignee and the principal amount of each Loan owing to such Assignee. The Register shall be available for inspection during ordinary business hours by the Borrower or any Bank or Assignee from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent.

(c) The entries made in the Register and the foregoing accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the indebtedness of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the validity or enforceability of any obligation of the Borrower to repay any Loan actually made to the Borrower by such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The entries in the Register relating to assignments shall be conclusive, in the absence of clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The Borrower’s obligation to repay any Loan that shall be assigned to a Federal Reserve Bank by a Bank shall, to the extent requested by such Bank in order to effect such assignment, be evidenced by one or more Notes. Such Note shall be (i) in the principal amount of the Loan so assigned and (ii) stated to mature on the Maturity Date and bear interest from its date

until paid in full on the principal balance (from time to time outstanding thereunder), payable at the rates and in the manner provided herein.

Section 2.04. Increase of Commitments. API may at any one time on or prior to August 2, 2012, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Banks), request that the Total Commitment be increased by $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and will not result in the Total Commitment exceeding $750,000,000. Such notice shall set forth the requested amount of the increase in the Total Commitment and the date on which such increase is to become effective (which shall be not later than August 2, 2012), and shall offer each Bank the opportunity to increase its Commitment and may arrange for one or more banks or other financial institutions (any such bank or other financial institution being called an “Augmenting Bank”) to extend Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the requested increase, provided that each Augmenting Bank shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall specify to evidence its status as a Bank hereunder. If (and only if) Banks (including Augmenting Banks) shall have agreed to increase their Commitments or to extend new Commitments in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000, such increases and such new Commitments shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by API pursuant to the first sentence of this Section. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.02 for a Loan to be made by each Bank that has agreement to increase its Commitment and each Augmenting Bank in an amount equal to the unused Commitment of such increasing Bank or the Commitment of such Augmenting Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Total Commitment (or in the Commitment of any Bank) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, on the date of such increase, (i) (x) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.01 shall be correct on and as of such date and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of API or (ii) the Banks shall have waived the requirements set forth in clause (i) of this sentence.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment. Upon the incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Debt for borrowed money in excess of $500,000,000 after the date of this Agreement,

including without limitation pursuant to a public offering, private placement or a syndicated bank financing, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to fifty percent (50% ) of the Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on the date of the incurrence of such Debt; provided, however, no such prepayment shall apply to (i) the issuance of commercial paper, (ii) Debt incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement or any facility that amends and restates or is a substitute therefor, regardless of the term for which renewed (as long as there is no increase in the principal amount of such facility), (iii) Debt incurred under credit facilities available to the Borrower or any Subsidiary on the Effective Date or refinancings in amounts not in excess of the principal amounts available thereunder on the Effective Date, (iv) purchase money Debt, and (v) Debt owed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any other Subsidiary or to the Borrower.

Section 2.07. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.08. Purpose of Loans.

Section 2.09. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.10. Defaulting Banks. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(i) the Loans of such Defaulting Bank (other than a Defaulting Bank only under clause (e) of the definition thereof) shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder; and

(ii) any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied by the Administrative Agent, in the following order of priority: (x) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder and (y) the balance to such Defaulting Bank.

(b) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this Section 2.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans ratably in accordance with its Commitment (or, if the Total Commitments have terminated, as last in effect) and such Bank shall no longer be a Defaulting Bank.

ARTICLE 3

INTEREST, CONVERSION, ETC.

Section 3.01. Procedure for Interest Rate Determination. Unless the Borrower shall request in a Borrowing Request or in a Conversion Request that the Loans, or portions thereof, bear interest as Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower’s Loans shall bear interest as ABR Loans.

Section 3.02. Interest on ABR Loans. Each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of such ABR Loan until paid in full, or (if converted into a Eurodollar Loan) to (but excluding) the first day of the relevant Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date after the date hereof, and on the date such Loan is repaid, at a rate per annum (on the basis of (i) a 365-day year (366 days in the case of a leap year) if the Base Rate is calculated based on the “base rate” and (ii) a 360-day year if the Base Rate is calculated based on the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR, for the actual number of days involved) equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Base Rate in effect from time to time, which rate shall change as and when said Base Rate shall change.

Section 3.03. Interest on Eurodollar Loans. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of such Loan to (but excluding) the last day of the relevant Interest Period, or (if earlier) to (but excluding) the Maturity Date, payable in arrears (A) with respect to Interest Periods of three months or less, on the last day of such Interest Period, and (B) with respect to Interest Periods longer than three months, on the date which occurs three months after the first day of such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period, at a rate per annum (on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved) with respect to each Interest Period, equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin and (ii) LIBOR.

(b) The Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan shall be selected by the Borrower at least three Eurodollar Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period. If the Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent of the Interest Period for a subsequent Eurodollar Loan at least three Eurodollar Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period of an outstanding Eurodollar Loan, then such outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall become an ABR Loan at the end of such current Interest Period.

(c) For so long as any Bank maintains reserves against “Eurocurrency Liabilities” pursuant to Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board (or any successor regulation), the Borrower shall, subject to the two next succeeding sentences, contemporaneously with the related interest payments, pay additional interest on each Eurodollar Loan of such Bank at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) LIBOR divided by (B) one minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) LIBOR. Each Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, upon becoming aware that the Borrower may be required to make a payment pursuant to this Section 3.03(c). When requesting payment pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), each Bank shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, signed by an officer of such Bank, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such claim, the amount required to be paid by the Borrower to such Bank and the computations made by such Bank to determine such amount. Absent demonstrable error, such certificate shall be binding as to the amounts of additional interest owing in respect of such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans.

Section 3.04. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 3.05. Continuation and Conversion of Loans. (a) The Borrower may request, by telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent of a Conversion Request, confirmed in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit C by no later than 4:00 P.M., New York time, on the same day, in advance of the requested Conversion Date as provided in the definition of “Conversion Request”, that:

(i) all the outstanding ABR Loans of the Borrower, or a portion thereof in an aggregate amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, be converted into a Eurodollar Loan on the requested Conversion Date; or

(ii) all the Eurodollar Loans of the Borrower having the same Interest Period, or a portion thereof in an aggregate amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, be converted into ABR Loans on the requested Conversion Date.

(b) Upon receipt of any such Conversion Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice to each Bank of the substance thereof. Effective on such Conversion Date and upon payment by the Borrower of the amounts, if any, required by Section 4.03, the Loans or portions thereof as to which the Conversion Request was made shall commence to accrue interest as set forth in this Article 3 for the type of interest rate and, in the case of a conversion of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans, Interest Period selected by the Borrower.

Section 3.07. Maximum Interest Rate. (a) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall require the Borrower to pay interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Neither this Section nor Section 10.01 is intended to limit the rate of interest payable for the account of any Bank to the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York (or any other applicable law) if a higher rate is permitted with respect to such Bank by supervening provisions of U.S. federal law.

(b) If the amount of interest payable by the Borrower for the account of any Bank on any interest payment date in respect of the immediately preceding interest computation period, computed pursuant to this Article 3, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall automatically be reduced to such maximum permissible amount.

If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(b) Certificate, Etc. Each Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, upon becoming aware that the Borrower may be required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 4.03.

The Borrower shall have a 30-day period following the receipt of such certificate (if the Borrower in good faith disagrees with the assertion that any payment under this Section 4.03 is due or with the amount shown as due on such certificate and so notifies such Bank of such disagreement within five Domestic Business Days following receipt of such certificate) to negotiate with such Bank, which negotiations shall be conducted by the respective parties in good faith, and to agree upon another amount that will adequately compensate such Bank, it being expressly understood that if the Borrower does not provide the required notice of its disagreement as provided above, then the Borrower shall pay the amount shown as due on the certificate on the tenth Domestic Business Day following receipt thereof and further if the Borrower does provide such required notice, and negotiations are entered into in good faith but do not result in agreement by the Borrower and such Bank within the 30-day period, then the Borrower shall pay the amount shown as due on the certificate on the last day of such period.

If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, then the amount so payable under this Agreement shall be increased to the amount which, after deduction from such increased amount of all Taxes required to be withheld or deducted therefrom (the amount of such increase, an “Additional Amount”), will yield to such Bank the amount stated to be payable under this Agreement. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to any Bank upon its request such further instruments as may be necessary or desirable to give full force and effect to any such increase. The Borrower shall also hold each Bank harmless and indemnify it for any stamp or other taxes with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of the Credit Documents (all of which shall be included within “Taxes”). If any of the Taxes specified in this Section 4.04(a) are paid by a Bank, the Borrower shall, within 10 days after demand of such Bank, reimburse such Bank for such payments, together with any interest, penalties and expenses incurred in connection herewith. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all Taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold (and shall not be required to make payments of any Additional Amounts or indemnification payments as otherwise required by this Section 4.04 on account of such deductions or withholdings) income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Bank other than a Bank (i) that is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) that has the Prescribed Forms on file with the Borrower for the applicable year, unless the failure to leave such forms on file results from a change in law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof subsequent to the date the Bank becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Bank (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts from the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04(a); provided that if the Borrower shall so deduct or withhold any such taxes, the Borrower shall provide a statement to the Administrative Agent and such Bank, setting forth the amount of such taxes so deducted or withheld, the applicable rate and any other information or documentation which such Bank may reasonably request for assisting such Bank to obtain any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so deducted or withheld in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which such Bank is subject to tax.

(ii) If any Bank has received or been granted a refund or repayment of, any Tax paid or payable by it in respect of or which takes account of any Tax with respect to which an Additional Amount was paid by the Borrower (an “Indemnified Tax”) or other matter giving rise to such payment, such Bank shall, to the extent it determines in good faith that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund or repayment, pay to the Borrower such amount as such Bank shall determine in good faith to be attributable to such Indemnified Tax or other matter and which will leave such Bank (after such payment to the Borrower) in a position no better or worse than it would have been in had the Borrower not been required to deduct or withhold such Indemnified Tax or such other matter had not arisen; provided that the Borrower

upon the written request of such Bank, shall return to such Bank the amount of any such refund, repayment in the event that such Bank is required to repay such amount to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b) Additional Costs. (i) Without duplication of any amounts payable described in Section 3.03(c), 4.04(a) or 4.04(b)(ii), if after the date hereof there shall have occurred any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof or the enactment of any law or regulation shall either (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement with respect to any Bank’s Commitment or its Eurodollar Loans, (B) subject such Bank to any duty or other charge with respect to any of its Eurodollar Loans or its obligations to make Eurodollar Loans or (C) impose on such Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement, its Commitment to make Eurodollar Loans or its Eurodollar Loans and the result of any event referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) shall be to increase the cost (“Additional Costs”) to such Bank of maintaining its Commitment to make Eurodollar Loans or making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or shall reduce the amounts received or receivable hereunder (which Additional Costs shall be calculated by such Bank in good faith in accordance with each Bank’s internal policies, including any reasonable averaging and attribution methods) by an amount which such Bank in good faith shall determine to be material, then, subject to Sections 4.04(c) and (d), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank an amount equal to such Additional Costs; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (y) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (z) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(ii) Without duplication of any amounts described in Section 3.03(c), 4.04(a) or 4.04(b)(i), if after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or instrumentality charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or instrumentality, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital for such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which such Bank shall determine in good faith that reasonably could have been achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, subject to Sections 4.04(c) and (d), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (y) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (z) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 4.04(b) shall not apply to (i) increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder resulting from any Tax or Excluded Tax, as to which Section 4.04(a) shall govern or (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of net income by the United States or any other jurisdiction which are applicable to any Bank or its lending office.

(c) Mitigation. If, with respect to a Bank, a condition arises or an event occurs after the date hereof that would, or would upon the giving of notice, result in the payment of any Additional Costs or Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04 or the delivery by such Bank of any notice described in the first sentence of Section 4.05, then such Bank, promptly upon becoming aware of the same, shall notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) thereof and at the Borrower’s request shall take such steps as may be available to it and acceptable to the Borrower to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions applicable to it to book the Loans held by such Bank hereunder at another lending office of such Bank if such other lending office is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank); provided that such Bank shall be under no obligation to take any step that, in its good faith judgment, would result in its incurring any unreimbursed Additional Costs, additional Taxes or other additional costs in performing its obligations hereunder (unless the Borrower has agreed to reimburse it for the same) or would, in the good faith judgment of such Bank, be materially disadvantageous to such Bank.

(d) Certificate, Etc. Each Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, upon becoming aware that the Borrower may be required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 4.04. When requesting payment pursuant to this Section 4.04, a Bank shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, signed by an officer of such Bank specifying the event giving rise to such claim and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such claim, the amount required to be paid by the Borrower to such Bank and the computations made by such Bank to determine such amount. Anything herein notwithstanding, no Bank shall have the right to demand payment of Additional Amounts or compensation for Additional Costs or a reduced rate of return under this Section 4.04 (i) with respect to any period more than 180 days prior to the date it has made a demand pursuant to this Section 4.04, provided if any Additional Amounts or Additional Costs arise from a change of law that is retroactive, then the 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, (ii) to the extent that such Bank determines in good faith that the interest rate or margin on the relevant Loans appropriately accounts for any Additional Costs and (iii) unless demand thereunder is made in accordance with a policy of the Bank being applied in good faith to all borrowers similarly situated.

(e) Prescribed Forms. (i) Each Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will, to the extent it has not previously done so, deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (and if to the latter, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that such Bank or Administrative Agent is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Bank further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (and if to the latter, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will deliver to the

Borrower) (i) two further duly completed copies of the said Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower, certifying that such Bank or Administrative Agent is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and under any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent a Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will advise the Borrower) that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax and (ii) two duly completed copies of any other form or certification that may become applicable to such Bank certifying that such Bank or Administrative Agent is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and under any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.

(ii) If a payment made to a Bank hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct or withhold from such payment.

Section 4.05. Unavailability and Impracticability. If, after the date hereof, a Bank shall have determined in good faith that the making or maintenance of all or any part of such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans has been made (i) unlawful because of compliance by such Bank with any law or guideline or interpretation or administration thereof by any official body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case issued after the date hereof, or with any request or directive made after the date hereof of such body (whether or not having the effect of law) or (ii) impracticable because deposits in Dollars in the amounts and requested maturities of such Loans are not available to the Bank in the applicable interbank market or that the rate applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Bank of making, funding or maintaining such Loans for the applicable Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of written notice of such determination by such Bank, shall forthwith advise the other Banks and the Borrower thereof. After the date specified in such notice and until such time as the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of written notice to it by such Bank, shall notify the Borrower and the other Banks that the circumstances specified by it in such notice no longer apply, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(i) the Eurodollar Loans of such Bank shall automatically be converted to ABR Loans, without any requirement of compliance by the Borrower with Section 3.05, 4.03 or 4.04, on (x) the last day of the outstanding Interest Period or Periods applicable thereto, unless awaiting such date is unlawful or (y) if awaiting such date is unlawful, immediately upon the receipt by the applicable Borrower of such notice; and

(ii) the obligation of such Bank to make, convert ABR Loans into, or continue for an additional Interest Period, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and, if the Borrower shall request in a Borrowing Request or Conversion Request that such Bank make a Eurodollar Loan, the Loan requested to be made by such Bank shall instead be made as an ABR Loan.

Such Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which thereupon shall promptly notify the Borrower, when such specified circumstances no longer apply.

Section 4.06. Substitution of Banks. If any Bank (a) shall request any compensation or indemnity under Section 4.03 or 4.04, (b) shall give any notice described in the first sentence of Section 4.05, (c) shall become a Non-Consenting Bank or (d) is a Defaulting Bank, the Borrower shall have the right to require such Bank to assign all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another Bank or financial institution identified by the Borrower with the assistance of the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees to use its reasonable efforts so to assist the Borrower); provided, however, that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable statute, law, rule, regulation, order or decree of any Governmental Authority, (ii) the assigning Bank shall have received from the Borrower and/or such assignee full payment of the principal of all then-outstanding Loans made by such Bank hereunder, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (provided that such Bank has complied with its obligations under Section 4.04(c)) all other amounts owed to it hereunder and (iii) such assignee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent).

Section 4.07. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Bank (i) on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks on the Effective Date (less any amounts prepaid in accordance with Section 2.06), and (ii) on the Maturity Date, the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate in all material respects.

(h) Material Subsidiaries. Each Material Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all corporate powers and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except to the extent that the failure of any of the foregoing would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

(l) Federal Reserve Regulations. After giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, not more than 25% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Borrower (based on book value or another reasonable measure) will consist of or be represented by “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board.

ARTICLE 9

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS

Section 9.01. Authorization and Action. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks and, except with respect to Section 9.06, the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Notes (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 9.02. Administrative Agent Individually. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the

term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity as a Bank. Such Person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

Section 9.03. Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.

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

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

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

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.04 or 8.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Bank shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default or Event of Default and such event or events.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other

document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Bank and each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan, and such Bank shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub‑agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub‑agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9 and Section 10.10 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 9.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank or an affiliate of a Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such

successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) on behalf of the Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 9 and Section 10.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 9.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks.

(a) Each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Bank and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear

such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder is suitable and appropriate for it.

(b) Each Bank acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; and

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 9.08. Indemnification. Each Bank agrees (which agreement shall survive repayment of the Loans) to indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitment shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in such capacity in

connection with the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, any Credit Document or any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

Section 9.09. Sharing of Payments and Expenses. All funds for the account of the Banks received by the Administrative Agent in respect of payments made by the Borrower pursuant to, or from any Person on account of, any Credit Document shall be distributed forthwith by the Administrative Agent among the Banks, ratably in proportion to their respective interests therein. In the event that any Bank shall receive from the Borrower or any other source any payment of, on account of, or for or under any Credit Document (whether received pursuant to the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, realization upon any security held for or appropriated to such obligation or otherwise as permitted by law) other than in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, except for amounts payable to such Bank under Section 4.03, 4.04, 4.06 or 4.07 hereof, then such Bank shall purchase at par from each other Bank so much of its interest in obligations of the Borrower as shall be necessary in order that each Bank shall share such payment with each of the other Banks in proportion to each Bank’s Pro Rata Share. In the event that any purchasing Bank shall be required to return any excess payment received by it, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such return, but without interest.

Section 9.10. Other Agents. None of the Banks identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “joint lead arranger”, “joint book runner”, “syndication agent” or “documentation agent”, or any affiliate of such Banks, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of any Bank, those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks so identified (or such affiliates) shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks so identified (or such affiliates) in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 10.02. Set-off. Each Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, 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 Debt at any time owing by such Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement then due to such Bank, irrespective of whether such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement. The rights of each Bank under this Section 10.02 are in addition to any

other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have. Any Bank exercising its rights under this Section 10.02 shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent concurrently with or prior to the exercise of such rights, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 10.03. Expenses.

Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice which is required to be given in writing or by telephone pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be given by telecopy or facsimile transmission. Any party from time to time may change its address for notices by notice to the other Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in the manner provided in this subsection.

(b) Subject to subsection (d) below, so long as Citibank or any of its affiliates is the Administrative Agent, materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i), (ii), (vi) and (vii) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Banks by e-mail at oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Banks by posting such notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are

confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the Borrower agrees that no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

(c) Each Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Bank for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Bank the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Bank by email. Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Bank’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Bank) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(d) For purposes of Sections 7.01(a)(i), (ii), (vi) and (vii), the Borrower shall be deemed to have effectively delivered any financial statement required to be delivered under Section 7.01(a)(i) or (ii), registration statement, proxy statement or report on Form 8-K, 10-K or 10-Q to the Administrative Agent and the Banks when such financial statement, registration statement, proxy statement or report is posted on the Internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Section 10.07. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.08. Parties in Interest. (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Banks and their respective successors. Except as permitted in Section 10.08(c), no interest in the Commitment of any Bank or any Loan, nor any right of a Bank under the Credit Documents, may be assigned to any Person that was not, prior to such assignment, a Bank hereunder. No Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of all the Banks. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 10.08 shall be null and void.

(b) Participations. Any Bank, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with

such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents, including the right to approve any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in the provisos to Section 10.04 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.03 and 4.04 with respect to its participating interest; provided that (i) subject to clause (ii) of this sentence, all amounts payable to a Bank for the account of a Participant under Sections 4.03 and 4.04 shall be determined as if such Bank had not granted such participation to the Participant and (ii) no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.03 or 4.04 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights participated, unless (x) such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 4.04 requiring such Bank to designate a different lending office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such payment did not exist and (y) such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.04(e) as though it were a Bank. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Assignments. (i) Any Bank, in accordance with applicable law, may assign all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including a portion or all of the Loans at the time owing to it) to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, an “Assignee”); provided, however, that (A) each of the Borrower (other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (g) or (h)) and the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any such assignment (other than an assignment by a Bank to an affiliate of such Bank or to a Federal Reserve Bank), (B) the amount of the Loans of the assigning Bank (determined as of the date of such assignment) subject to such assignment (other than in the case of an assignment to an affiliate of the Bank or a Federal Reserve Bank) shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless the Borrower otherwise consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (C) the parties to each such assignment (other than an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register an instrument evidencing such assignment, in substantially the form of Exhibit D (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), and the assigning Bank or the Assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in cash equal to $1,000 (if the Assignee is already a Bank) or $3,500 (otherwise), and (D) as of the date of such assignment, except with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Assignee shall not have any right to

request compensation pursuant to Section 4.04 after giving effect to such assignment (other than Indemnified Taxes but only to the extent that the assignor Bank was so entitled). Upon acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least two Domestic Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the Loans assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of, and shall for all purposes be, a Bank under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the Loans assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from such Loans (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the Loans at the time owing to the assigning Bank under this Agreement, including in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 4.06, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Bank may at any time assign or grant a security interest in its Loans and its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement, including to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such assignment or grant pursuant to this sentence shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder.

(ii) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with the other parties hereto as follows: (A) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (B) such Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the assigning Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (C) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof; and (D) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank with the Loans assigned to it.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Assignee shall not, by virtue of an Assignment and Acceptance, become a party to this Agreement or a “Bank”, or have any rights to consent to or refrain from consenting to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document unless such Assignee shall thereby have accepted a Loan hereunder; provided that no such amendment, waiver or modification may reduce or postpone any payment of principal or interest in respect of any Loan assigned to such Assignee thereby without the written consent of such Assignee.

(d) Federal Reserve Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Credit Document, no Bank may sell, assign or participate all or any portion of its Commitment or Loans hereunder to any “broker” or “dealer” (as defined in Sections 3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or any other Person that is a “creditor” (as defined in Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board). By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Bank hereby confirms that it is not such a “broker”, “dealer” or “creditor”.

Section 10.09. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 10.10. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks and their respective affiliates and their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.10 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors (other than in the case where such litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower and the Borrower prevails), an Indemnitee or any other person or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). This Section 10.10 shall not apply with respect to Taxes or Excluded Taxes other than any Taxes or Excluded Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

The provisions of this Section 10.10 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the cancellation of the Total Commitment, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Banks. All amounts due under this Section 10.10 shall be payable in immediately available funds upon written demand therefor.

Section 10.11. Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.11, any judicial proceeding brought against any party to this Agreement arising out of or relating to any Credit Document shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the City and County of New York, and, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower shall be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to (a) accept, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (b) irrevocably waive any objection they may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court or that such court is an inconvenient forum and (c) consent that service of process upon any of them may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at their address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 and service so made shall be deemed completed when received. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent, any Bank or the Borrower to bring proceedings against any other party in the courts of any other applicable jurisdiction.

Section 10.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its affiliates and to its and its affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, in all cases to the extent such affiliates and such managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and other representatives are involved in the administration of this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Note or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12 and as to which the Borrower is a third party beneficiary, to (i) any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations under this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any of their respective affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, unless such Information is being made available by a Person not known after reasonable inquiry by the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any of their respective affiliates to be required to maintain the confidentiality of such Information; provided that, in the case of clause (b) and (c), if the Administrative Agent or any Bank or any of their respective related parties is required in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or such Bank’s counsel, as applicable, to disclose by law, regulation, governmental or regulatory authority, subpoena, court order or similar legal or regulatory process, any Information, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as applicable, shall (A) except as limited by applicable law, subpoena, order or other legal or regulatory process, give the Borrower written notice of such requirement or request so that the Borrower may seek, at its sole cost and expense, an appropriate protective order or other remedy; and (B) except with respect to providing information requested by regulatory authorities, reasonably cooperate with the Borrower, at the Borrower's sole cost and expense, to obtain such protective order. Other than with respect to Information requested by regulatory authorities, in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Borrower waives its right to seek such order or other remedy, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as applicable, shall (or shall cause any other Person to whom such request is directed to), without liability under this Agreement, furnish only that portion of the Information which, on the advice of the Administrative Agent or such Bank's counsel, as applicable, is legally required or so compelled by law or regulation to be disclosed and, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as applicable, gives the Borrower written notice of the Information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practicable and use its reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

The foregoing is in addition to and not in limitation of the provisions of any confidentiality agreement between the Administrative Agent or any Bank and the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

Section 10.13. Judgment. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in Dollars to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Domestic Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such other currency; if the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than such sum due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in Dollars, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in Dollars, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

Section 10.14. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.15. Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each borrower, guarantor or grantor (the "Loan Parties"), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Bank to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

Section 10.16. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Bank and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Banks”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Banks and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Banks is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person,

(iii) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 10.17. Waiver of Right to Jury. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OF THE BANKS WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

Reference is made to the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2012 (as amended, modified, extended or superseded from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Avon Products, Inc., banks and other lenders from time to time parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

Section 1.01. Assignment and Acceptance. The Assignor identified in Annex 1 hereto hereby sells and assigns, without recourse, to the Assignee identified in Annex 1 hereto, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes, without recourse, from the Assignor, effective as of the Assignment Effective Date set forth in Annex 1 hereto, the interests set forth on Annex 1 hereto (the “Assigned Interest”) in the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the interests set forth on Annex 1 in the Commitment of the Assignor on the Assignment Effective Date and Borrowings owing to the Assignor which are outstanding on the Assignment Effective Date.
