CREDIT AGREEMENT

Dated as of December 29, 2003

OCULAR SCIENCES K.K., a Japanese corporation, and WELLS FARGO HSBC TRADE BANK N.A. agree as follows (with certain terms used herein being defined in Article 9):

ARTICLE 1

CREDIT FACILITY

Section 1.01 Commitment to Lend. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Bank agrees to make, from time to time during the period from the Agreement Date through the Termination Date, one or more Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate unpaid principal amount not exceeding at any one time outstanding the Commitment at such time.

Section 1.02 Manner of Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Bank notice (which shall be irrevocable) no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the third Business Day before the requested date for the making of any Loan (such third Business Day being called the “Notification Date”). Each such notice of borrowing shall be in the form of Schedule 1.02 and shall specify (a) the requested date for the making of the requested Loan, which shall be a Business Day, (b) the account to which proceeds of the Loan will be remitted, (c) the Maturity Date for such Loan requested pursuant to Section 1.04, and (d) the amount of such Loan, the Dollar Equivalent of which (determined as of the Notification Date) shall not be less than $500,000 (unless the requested Loan is for the entire undrawn amount of the Commitment then available for borrowing hereunder). Not later than the second Business Day before the requested date for the making of such Loan, the Bank will determine the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the requested Loan as of the Notification Date, and notify the Borrower if (i) the requested amount of the Loan would exceed the undrawn Commitment (determined as of the Notification Date, but assuming that all other Loans which are scheduled to mature on or prior to the date requested for the making of such Loan will be duly repaid), whereupon the amount of the requested Loan will be reduced to the undrawn Commitment, and (ii) the Bank is unable to accept the Borrower’s requested Maturity Date due to its inability to obtain funding for the relevant maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Bank shall promptly inform the Borrower of such fact and shall provide Borrower with information respecting the terms that the Bank could in fact obtain with respect to the proposed Loan (which terms Borrower may accept or reject in the exercise of its reasonable discretion).

(b) Each Loan so requested shall be disbursed by the Bank not later than the requested date therefor (Tokyo time) in Yen in funds immediately available to the Borrower by credit to an account of the Borrower as shall have been specified in the applicable notice of borrowing and as shall be acceptable to the Bank; provided that the Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Bank to apply the proceed of any Loan to any amounts then due hereunder (including

any unpaid principal amount of and interest accrued on any other Loan maturing on or prior to the date of disbursement of such Loan).

Section 1.03 Interest.

(a) Rates. Unless an Event of Default is continuing, each Loan and each other amount due and payable under the Borrower Loan Documents shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Adjusted Euroyen Rate for the Interest Period plus 0.95%. Any principal or interest on any Loan, and any other amount payable under the Loan Documents, which is not paid when due, and during an Event of Default, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Post-Default Rate (whether before or after judgment).

(b) Payment. Interest shall be payable, (a) in the case of any Loan, (i) on the last day of the Interest Period (and, if the duration of an Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day of such Interest Period), (ii) when such Loan shall be due (whether at maturity, by reason of notice of prepayment or acceleration or otherwise), but only to the extent then accrued on the amount then so due, and (b) in the case of all other amounts due and payable under the Borrower Loan Documents, promptly on demand. Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

(c) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents shall require the Borrower at any time to pay interest at a rate exceeding the Maximum Permissible Rate. If interest payable by the Borrower on any date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Maximum Permissible Rate, such interest payment shall automatically be reduced to such maximum permitted amount, and interest for any subsequent Loans, to the extent less than the maximum amount permitted for such Loans by the Maximum Permissible Rate, shall be increased by the unpaid amount of any other Loan. Any interest actually received for any Loan in excess of such maximum amount permitted for such period shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans in the inverse order of maturity.

Section 1.04 Repayment. Unless required to be repaid earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Loan shall be repaid by Borrower in full on the Maturity Date. The Maturity Date for each Loan shall be approximately the same day as the date of making the Loan in the first, second, third, or sixth calendar months after the date of the making of such Loan as may be requested by the Borrower in a notice of borrowing; provided that if the Maturity Date would not otherwise be a Business Day, such day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case Maturity Date shall be the next preceding Business Day.

Section 1.05 Prepayments. The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank may enter into currency and/or interest rate swap agreements in order to fund the Loans, the termination of which may result in substantial costs. Accordingly, the Borrower agrees that it shall have no voluntary right to repay or prepay any Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date, and that in the event any Loan is repaid or prepaid (whether by acceleration prior to the maturity or any other reason) in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall compensate the Bank for any losses, costs, or expenses pursuant to Section 7.04.

Section 1.06 Evidence of Indebtedness. The Loans and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans with interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement, a single Note, and the records of the Bank. The Bank shall be authorized to make notations on the Note to reflect borrowings and payments (and shall provide Borrower with copies of such notations promptly after making the same). The notations and records of the Bank shall be conclusive evidence of the Loans and accrued interest thereon and of all payments made in respect thereof, absent manifest error.

Section 1.07 Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Bank a facility fee of $20,000 on the closing date of the initial Loan under this Agreement.

Section 1.08 Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest for any period shall be calculated from and including the first day thereof to and including the last day thereof.

Section 1.09 Payments by the Borrower.

(a) Time, Place and Manner. All payments due to the Bank under the Borrower Loan Documents shall be made to the Bank at the Bank’s Office or at such other address as the Bank may designate by notice to the Borrower. All such payments shall be made for the account of the Lending Office. A payment shall not be deemed to have been made on any day unless such payment has been received by the Bank, at the required place of payment, in Yen (or such other currency as may be specified herein) in funds immediately available to the Bank on such day.

(b) No Reductions. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank that all payments by the Borrower will be paid free and clear of and (except to the extent required by law) without any deduction or withholding on account of any tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivisions in or of the United States of America, Japan, or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of the Borrower or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or such other jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment, except for any Japanese withholding Taxes imposed at a rate not exceeding 10% on each payment of the facility fee and interest to the extent required to be withheld or deducted under Applicable Law.

(c) Grossing-up of Payments. If the Borrower, the Bank or any other person or entity is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such tax from any sum paid or payable by the Borrower to the Bank hereunder (excluding, in the case of the Bank, taxes that would not be imposed in respect of a payment under this Agreement but for a present or former connection between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax and Bank (including, without limitation, a connection arising from Bank being or having been a citizen or resident of such jurisdiction or being or having been treated as a resident of such jurisdiction, or being or having been organized, present or engaged in a trade or business in such jurisdiction, or having or having had a permanent establishment or fixed place of business in such jurisdiction, but excluding a connection arising solely from Bank having executed, delivered, performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement):

(i) the Borrower shall notify the Bank of any such requirement or any change in any requirement as soon as the Borrower becomes aware of it;

(ii) the Borrower shall pay any such tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on the Borrower) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Bank on behalf of and in the name of Bank) for the Bank’s account;

(iii) The sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Bank receives on the due date and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment) a net sum equal to what it would have received and so retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and

Within thirty (30) days after payment of any sum from which it is required by law to make any deductions or withholding and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any tax which it is required by Applicable Law to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank any original vouchers or receipts, or certified copies of such vouchers or receipts, evidencing payment of such withholding tax and any other documents or information relating to such payments received by the Borrower from governmental authorities in the country levying such withholding taxes.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be required to gross up any Japanese withholding Taxes imposed at a rate not exceeding 10% on each payment of interest and the facility fee to the extent required to be withheld or deducted under Applicable Law, provided that the Borrower has complied with all of the requirements of the foregoing clauses of this Section 1.09(c), and (ii) Borrower shall not be required to gross up or pay any amount with respect to any interest and penalties to the extent any such interest and penalties arise from the Bank’s failure to notify Borrower within a reasonable period of time after receiving final notification from a taxing authority that Taxes are due.

(v) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of Bank pursuant to this Section 1.09(c), then the Bank will, at the request of the Borrower, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not materially disadvantageous to, and will not cause unreasonable hardship to, the Bank.

(d) Authorization to Charge Accounts. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank, if and to the extent any amount payable by the Borrower under the Borrower Loan Documents is not otherwise paid when due, to charge such amount against any or all of the accounts of the Borrower with the Bank or any of its Affiliates (whether maintained at a branch or office located within or without the United States), with the Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency.

(e) Extension of Payment Dates. Whenever any payment to the Bank under the Borrower Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day, unless such extension would cause payment to be due in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such due date shall be advanced to the next preceding Business Day. If the date any payment under the Borrower Loan Documents is due is extended (whether by operation of any Borrower Loan Document, Applicable Law or otherwise), such payment shall bear interest for such extended time at the rate of interest applicable hereunder.

The Borrower shall deliver to the Bank from time to time upon the Bank’s reasonable request, an updated extract from the land or such other register, evidencing the absence of any recorded mortgage, charge, pledge, security interest, lien or other encumbrance pertaining to the Borrower’s accounts receivables or other properties or assets.

(a) on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for any Interest Period, the Bank determines in good faith that for any reason appropriate quotations are not available to it (including, in the case of the Yen COF Rate, quotations in the interbank market selected by it for deposits with it) for purposes of determining the Yen COF Rate for such Interest Period or that such Rate would not accurately reflect the cost to the Bank of making or continuing a Loan for such Interest Period;

(b) at any time the Bank determines in good faith that any Regulatory Change makes it unlawful or impracticable for the Bank or the Lending Office to make or continue any Loan or to comply with its obligations hereunder in respect thereof; or

(c) the Bank determines in good faith that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, the Bank or the Lending Office is restricted, directly or indirectly, in the amount that it may hold of (i) a category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which, or on the basis of which, the interest rate applicable to Loans is directly or indirectly determined or (ii) the category of assets that includes Loans.

The Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of any circumstance that would make the provisions of this Section 7.01 applicable, but the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the Bank’s rights hereunder.

Section 7.02 Regulatory Changes. If in the good faith determination of the Bank (a) any Regulatory Change shall directly or indirectly (i) reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank with respect to any Loan or the return to be earned by the Bank on any Loan, (ii) impose a cost on the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank that is attributable to the making or maintaining of, or the Bank’s commitment to make, any Loan, (iii) require the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank to make any payment on or calculated by reference to the gross amount of any amount received by the Bank under any Loan Document or (iv) reduce, or have the effect of reducing, the rate of return on any capital of the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank that the Bank or such Affiliate is required to maintain on account of any Loan or the Bank’s commitment to make any Loan and (b) such reduction, increased cost or payment shall not be fully compensated for by an adjustment in the applicable rates of interest payable under the Loan Documents, then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amounts as the Bank reasonably determines will, together with any adjustment in the applicable rates of interest payable hereunder, fully compensate for such reduction, increased cost or payment. Such additional amounts shall be payable, in the case of those applicable to prior periods, within 15 days after request by such Bank for such payment and, in the case of those applicable to future periods, on the dates specified, or determined in accordance with a method specified, by the Bank. The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of any determination made by it referred to

in clauses (a) and (b) above, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Bank’s right to compensation.

Section 7.03 Capital Requirements. If, in the determination of the Bank, the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank is required, under Applicable Law, interpretations, directives, requests and guidelines (whether or not having the force of law) to maintain capital on account of any Loan or the Bank’s commitment to make any Loan, then, upon reasonable request by the Bank, the Borrower shall from time to time thereafter pay to the Bank such additional amounts as the Bank determines will fully compensate for any reduction in the rate of return on the capital that the Bank or such Affiliate is so required to maintain on account of such Loan or commitment suffered as a result of such capital requirement. Such additional amounts shall be payable, in the case of those applicable to prior periods, within 15 days after request by the Bank for such payment and, in the case of those relating to future periods, on the dates specified, or determined in accordance with a method specified, by the Bank.

Section 7.04 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon request, such amount or amounts as the Bank reasonably determines are necessary to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment of a Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan or (b) a Loan not being made for any reason after the Borrower has given a notice of borrowing, including for Borrower’s failure to fulfill the conditions specified in this Agreement, or any payment of principal thereof or interest thereon not being made, on the date therefor determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. At the election of the Bank, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but without duplication, such compensation on account of the Bank’s lost profits only may include an amount not to exceed the product of 23.75 basis points (0.2375%) and any amounts to be reemployed by the Bank during an Interest Period or its remaining portion.

Section 7.05 Determinations. In making the determinations contemplated by Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, and 7.04, the Bank may make such reasonable estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that the Bank in good faith determines to be appropriate, and the Bank’s selection thereof in accordance with this Section 7.05, and the determinations made by the Bank on the basis thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrower, except, in the case of such determinations, for manifest errors in computation or transmission. The Bank shall furnish to the Borrower upon request a certificate outlining in reasonable detail the computation of any amounts claimed by it under this Article 7 and the assumptions underlying such computations.

Section 7.06 Change of Lending Office. If an event occurs with respect to a Lending Office that obligates the Borrower to pay any amount under Section 1.09(c), makes operable the provisions of clause (b) or (c) of Section 7.01 or entitles the Bank to make a claim under Section 7.02 or 7.03, the Bank shall, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office or Offices the designation of which will reduce the amount the Borrower is so obligated to pay, eliminate such operability or reduce the amount the Bank is so entitled to claim, provided that such designation would not, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank, be disadvantageous to the Bank in any manner or contrary to Bank policy. The Bank may at any time and from time to time change any Lending Office and shall give notice of any such change

to the Borrower. Except in the case of a change in Lending Offices made at the request of the Borrower, the designation of a new Lending Office by the Bank shall not obligate the Borrower to pay any amount to the Bank under Section 1.09(c), make operable the provisions of clause (b) or (c) of Section 7.01 or entitle the Bank to make a claim under Section 7.02 or 7.03 if such obligation, the operability of such clause or such claim results solely from such designation and not from a subsequent Regulatory Change.

(ii) The Bank may from time to time with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign any or all of its rights and obligations under the Borrower Loan Documents to one or more Persons; provided, however, that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required with respect to any assignment effected with respect to any affiliate of the Bank, Wells Fargo, N.A., or HSBC Holdings plc.

Section 8.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of California (without giving effect to its choice of law principles).

Section 8.11 Judicial Proceedings; Waiver of Jury Trial.

The Borrower hereby waives personal service of process and consents that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01, and service so made shall be deemed completed on the third Business Day after such service is deposited in the mail. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Bank or any other Indemnified Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Bank or any other Indemnified Person to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Any judicial proceeding by the Borrower against the Bank involving any Loan Document Related Claim shall be brought only in a court located in the State of California. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH THEY ARE BOTH PARTIES INVOLVING ANY LOAN DOCUMENT RELATED CLAIM.

Section 8.12 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER THE BANK NOR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE

Section 8.13 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of the Borrower Loan Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby waives any provision of Applicable Law that renders any provision of the Borrower Loan Documents prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 8.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto were upon the same instrument.

Section 8.15 Survival of Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the rights and obligations of the Borrower, the Bank and the other Indemnified Persons under the Borrower Loan Documents shall survive the Repayment Date.

Section 8.17 Successors and Assigns. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.18 Currency of Payment. The obligation of the Borrower to pay in Yen (or such other currency as may be specified herein) under this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to have been novated, discharged or satisfied by any tender of (or recovery under judgement expressed in) any currency other than Yen (or other than such specified currency), except to the extend to which such tender (or recovery) shall result in the effective payment of such aggregate amount in Yen (or such other currency) at the place where such payment is to be made and, accordingly, the amount (if any) by which any such tender (or recovery) shall fall short of such amount shall be and remain due to the Bank as a separate obligation, unaffected by judgement having been obtained (if such is the case) for any other amounts due or in respect of this Agreement of the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the exchange rate used for this purpose may be less favorable to the Borrower than the definition of the Applicable Currency Exchange Rate.

Section 8.19 Process Agent. The Borrower irrevocably designates, appoints, and empowers the Guarantor to receive for it and on its behalf, service of process issued out of a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California in any proceedings arising out of or in connection with Loan Document Related Claim. If at any time such process agent shall cease for any reason to act as such, the Borrower shall irrevocably appoint and designate without delay another reputable person to act as such agent and shall promptly deliver to the Bank evidence in

writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment and designation. Failing any such appointment and designation within seven (7) days after written demand therefor by the Bank, the Bank shall be entitled at the cost of the Borrower irrevocably to appoint and designate another such agent on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby appoints the Bank its duly authorized attorney for this purpose. The Borrower agrees that service on any such person in the State of California shall be deemed due service for the purpose of the Proceedings in courts therein without prejudice to any other mode of service and agrees that the failure of the person authorized in the State of California to give any notice of any such service to it shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any proceeding based thereon.
