Unless otherwise defined or amended herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Note Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holders have agreed to amend certain provisions of that certain note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 11, 2014 among the Obligors and the purchasers listed on Schedule B thereto relating to the issuance and sale of the Company’s 3.91% Senior Notes, Series A, due September 3, 2024, the Company’s 4.01% Senior Notes, Series B, due September 3, 2026, and the Company’s 4.21% Senior Notes, Series C, due September 3, 2029 (collectively, the “Notes”), and as otherwise amended and in effect from time to time, on the terms and conditions expressly set forth herein.

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

Each Obligor is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified as a foreign limited partnership and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor has the limited partnership power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact its business and to execute this Amendment.

This Amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership action on the part of each Obligor, and this Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of this Amendment will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of any Obligor or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, shareholders agreement or any other Material agreement or instrument to which any Obligor or any Subsidiary is bound or by which any Obligor or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision or other statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary.

No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Obligor of this Amendment.

Immediately prior to the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default will exist.

Section 9 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended, by inserting as a new Section 9.8 the following:
