PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
A.Reference is made to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Purchase Agreement” and as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time including pursuant hereto, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Purchaser.
B.The Company has requested that the Existing Purchase Agreement be amended to, among other things, extend the outside date by which the Closing Date must occur under the Purchase Agreement, and the Purchaser is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the Existing Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 2. Amendments to Purchase Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, effective on the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below):
(a)The second paragraph of the Existing Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new sentence at the end thereof:
The initial Interest Payment Date of any Notes issued hereunder the Closing Date with respect to which is after April 1, 2017 shall be October 15, 2017.
(b)The last sentence of Section 2(a) of the Existing Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Closing Date” shall mean any NY Business Day specified by the Company not less than seventeen NY Business Days following the giving of written notice by the Company (such notice, the “Issuance Notice”), and in any event no later than May 31, 2017, provided that if the proposed Closing Date specified in the Issuance Notice does not fall on a business day, the “Closing Dateshall mean the earliest



preceding business day.
(c)Section 8 of the Existing Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by (1) adding “(a)” at the beginning thereof and (2) adding the following new clause (b) as a new paragraph at the end of Section 8:
If (x) the Closing Date and (y) the Termination Effective Time with respect to a Terminated Principal Amount of $650,000,000 does not occur on or prior to November 30, 2016, (i) the Company shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Extended Hedge Fixed Amounts by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Purchaser to the Company no later than the day on which such Extended Hedge Fixed Amounts are payable to the hedge counter party under the applicable Hedge Transactions (an “Extended Hedge Fixed Amount Payment Date”) provided that the Company receives from the Purchaser no later than three business days prior to the Extended Hedge Fixed Amount Payment Date, written demand containing reasonable documentation of the Extended Hedge Fixed Costs Amount and (ii) the Purchaser shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Extended Hedge Variable Amounts by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Company to the Purchaser no later than the date such Extended Hedge Variable Amounts are payable under the applicable Hedge Transactions. The Purchaser and the Company agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to net the payments due to each other pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for the period beginning on the last payment dates of Extended Hedge Fixed Amounts and Extended Hedge Variable Amounts and ending on the Extended Hedge Termination Date. The Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Company specifying any such netted amounts due, and the Company or the Purchaser (as the case may be) shall make payment of such amounts within three business days following receipt of such notice by the Company.
As used in this Section 8(b), “Extended Hedge Fixed Amount” shall mean the “Fixed Amount” payments actually paid by the Purchaser under Hedge Transactions to the extent such payments are directly attributable to the period beginning November 30, 2016 and ending on the Extended Hedge Termination Date.

Termination Date. The “Extended Hedge Termination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the Termination Effective Time and (iii) May 31, 2017.

(d)Section 12(a) of the Existing Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by (1) replacing the reference to “November 5, 2016” with “May 5, 2017” and (2) replacing the reference to “November 6, 2016” with “May 8, 2017”.
