Re:

Uncommitted Line of Credit

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are pleased to advise you that WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. (the “ Lender ”) has established for FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Borrower ”), an uncommitted line of credit with aggregate advances (“ Loans ”) outstanding thereunder not at any time to exceed $100,000,000. Terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreements or otherwise assigned to them in Exhibit A hereto. The terms and conditions of the line of credit are as follows:

 

1.

The Facility .

 

 

(a)

All Loans under this line of credit shall be at the sole discretion of the Lender. This letter is not a commitment by the Lender to extend credit.

 

 

(b)

The Borrower may request that Loans be (i) made as or converted to Base Rate Loans by irrevocable notice to be received by the Lender not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day of the borrowing or conversion, or (ii) made or continued as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans by irrevocable notice to be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the Business Day of the borrowing, continuation or conversion. If the Borrower fails to give a notice of conversion or continuation prior to the end of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that such Loan be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. If the Borrower requests that a Loan be continued as or converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, but fails to specify an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. Notices pursuant to this Paragraph 1(b) may be given by telephone or electronic mail if promptly confirmed in writing. Each notice of borrowing, continuation or conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B .

Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Base Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000. There shall not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect at any time.

(c)

At the option of the Borrower, Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus 0.65%; or (ii) the Base Rate minus 1.00%. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days and actual days elapsed. All other interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

The Borrower promises to pay interest (i) for each Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and, if the Interest Period is longer than three months, on the respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of the Interest Period, and (B) on the date of any conversion of such Loan to a Base Rate Loan; (ii) for Base Rate Loans, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter; and (iii) for all Loans, on the Maturity Date.

While any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2%. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be payable on demand.

In no case shall interest hereunder exceed the amount that the Lender may charge or collect under applicable law.

 

 

(d)

The Loans and all payments thereon shall be evidenced by the Lender’s loan accounts and records and by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Such loan accounts, records and promissory note shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans and payments thereon. Any failure to record any Loan or payment thereon or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

 

 

(e)

The outstanding principal of each Loan shall be due and payable on demand, or if no demand is sooner made, on the Maturity Date.

The Borrower shall make all payments required hereunder not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of payment in same day funds in Dollars at the office of the Lender from time to time designated in writing.

All payments by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder shall be made to the Lender in full without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and exempt from, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes.

 

 

(g)

The Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and upon same-day notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, prepay Loans on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower pays all Breakage Costs (if any) associated with such prepayment on the date of such prepayment. Prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans must be accompanied by a payment of interest on the amount so prepaid.
