NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:




ARTICLE I
Definitions

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE II
Amendments

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III hereof, the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 2.1    Prepayments. The second sentence of paragraph 4 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “paragraph 4B and paragraph 4C” therein, and inserting “paragraph 4B, paragraph 4C and paragraph 4G” in lieu thereof.

Section 2.2    Application of Prepayments. Paragraph 4E of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “paragraphs 4B or 4C” therein, and inserting “paragraphs 4B, 4C or 4G” in lieu thereof.

Section 2.3    No Acquisition of Notes. Paragraph 4F of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “paragraphs 4A, 4B or 4C” therein, and inserting “paragraphs 4A, 4B, 4C or 4G” in lieu thereof.

Section 2.4    Asset Sale Prepayment. Paragraph 4 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new paragraph 4G immediately following paragraph 4F thereof:

4G.    Asset Sale Prepayment. On each occasion that any Net Proceeds are (i) received by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Subsidiary in respect of a Prepayment Event and (ii) not reinvested in accordance with the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement and instead applied to prepay any loans under the Bank Credit Agreement (each, a “Bank Prepayment”), the Issuer shall, substantially concurrently with such Bank Prepayment, make a written offer to prepay a portion of the Notes equal to the Note Pro Rata Amount at par (each, an “Asset Sale Prepayment Offer”) on a date not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days after the date of such Asset Sale Prepayment Offer (the “Asset Sale Prepayment Date”). The “Net Proceeds” (as such term is defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) applied to prepay any loans under the Bank Credit Agreement shall be reduced by the Note Pro Rata Amount pursuant to clause (b)(ii) of the definition of “Net Proceeds” in the Bank Credit Agreement unless (and until such time as) any Net Proceeds remain after the Asset Sale Prepayment Date as a result of any holder rejecting such offer. After the Asset Sale Prepayment Date, any remaining Net Proceeds that are not so applied to prepay the Notes shall be applied to the indebtedness under the Bank Credit Agreement in accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions thereof. Each such Asset Sale Prepayment Offer shall (a) refer specifically to this paragraph 4G and describe in reasonable detail the Prepayment Event giving rise to such Asset Sale Prepayment Offer,
2


(b) specify the principal amount of each Note being offered to be prepaid which amount shall be allocated among all of the Notes of all Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts not theretofore called for prepayment, (c) specify the Asset Sale Prepayment Date and specify the Asset Sale Response Date (as defined below), and (d) offer to prepay on the Asset Sale Prepayment Date the amount specified in (b) above with respect to each Note, together with interest accrued thereon to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date, but without Yield-Maintenance Amount or other premium. Each holder of a Note shall notify the Issuer of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of such offer by giving written notice of such acceptance or rejection to the Issuer (provided, however, that any holder who fails to so notify the Issuer shall be deemed to have rejected such offer) on a date at least 5 days prior to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date (such date 5 days prior to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date being the “Asset Sale Response Date”). On the Asset Sale Prepayment Date, the Issuer shall prepay the principal amount of the Notes specified in the applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Offer, plus interest accrued thereon to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date, but without Yield-Maintenance Amount or other premium, with respect to each Note held by the holders who have accepted such Asset Sale Prepayment Offer in accordance with this paragraph 4G. Any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4G shall be applied in satisfaction of remaining required payments of principal on the Notes in inverse order of their scheduled due dates.”

Section 2.5    Limitations on Indebtedness. Paragraph 6D(ii) of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(ii)    Indebtedness of a Loan Party (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) in respect of amounts outstanding (including all amounts due, contingently or otherwise, in respect of reimbursement obligations under letters of credit or similar instruments and all related reimbursement agreements) under the Bank Credit Documents, not in excess of the result of (A) $900,000,000 (subject to further increases of up to $300,000,000 pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Bank Credit Agreement so long as (x) no Event of Default is continuing at the time of any such increase, and (y) each of the conditions to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness set forth in Section 2.04(a)(iv) and Section 2.04(c) of the Bank Credit Agreement (as in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date) have been satisfied (and not waived by the Bank Lenders)), minus (B) the aggregate amount of any permanent reductions in the principal amount of the commitments under the revolving credit established thereunder and any reductions in the principal amount of the term loans issued thereunder; provided that (x) the terms, covenants and restrictions in respect of such substitutions, refinancings and replacements are not more materially onerous than the existing terms, covenants and restrictions of such Indebtedness being substituted, refinanced or replaced, (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness of the Loan Parties (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under this clause (ii) shall not at any time exceed $1,200,000,000, and (z) the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness of Foreign Borrowers under this clause (ii) shall not at any time exceed the Foreign Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement as in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date);

3


Section 2.6    Net Leverage Ratio. Paragraph 6K of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

6K.    Net Leverage Ratio. The Obligors shall not permit the Net Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.00:1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019; provided that, in connection with the consummation or making of any Material Acquisition, the Issuer may elect (by written notice to the holders of the Notes delivered concurrently with the Officer’s Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 5A(iii) with respect to the fiscal quarter in which election is made) to increase the maximum Net Leverage Ratio under this paragraph 6K to 3.50:1.00 (the “Elevated Ratio”) solely for the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Material Acquisition is consummated or made and for the last day of the next three succeeding fiscal quarters, provided, further, that (i) such election shall not be made more than two (2) times prior to the Maturity Date and (ii) after the last fiscal quarter for which the Elevated Ratio shall be in effect following any such election, there shall be at least two consecutive fiscal quarters during which the Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.00:1.00 prior to any further such election.”
