RECITALS:
A. Pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 16, 2014 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and each of the purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto, the Company has heretofore issued (i) $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes designated as its 3.49% Senior Notes, Series 2014-A-1, due December 16, 2023 (the “Series 2014-A-1 Notes”), (ii) $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes designated as its 3.49% Senior Notes, Series 2014-A-2, due February 26, 2024 (the “Series 2008-A-2 Notes” or the “Series 2014-A 2 Notes”), (iii) $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes designated as its 3.61% Senior Notes, Series 2014-A-3, due December 16, 2025 (the “Series 2014-A-3 Notes”), and (iv) $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes designated as its 3.61% Senior Notes, Series 2014-A-4, due February 26, 2026 (the “Series 2014-A-4 Notes” and together with the Series 2014-A-1 Notes, Series 2014-A-2 Notes and Series 2014-A-3 Notes, the “Notes”),
B. The Noteholders are the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding as of the date of this First Amendment (exclusive of Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates).
C. The Company and the Noteholders now desire to amend the Note Purchase Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects, hereinafter set forth.
D. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require.
NOW, THEREFORE, upon the full and complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this First Amendment set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, and in consideration of good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Noteholders do hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS.
Section 1.1. Section 9.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be and is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 9.7. Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Company will cause each of its Subsidiaries that becomes a guarantor or an obligor, whether as a borrower or an additional or co-
borrower or otherwise, for or in respect of any Debt under any Material Credit Facility or any Existing Note Purchase Agreement to:
(i) concurrently therewith enter into an agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 9.7(a) (a “Subsidiary Guaranty”); and
(ii) within five Business Days thereafter, deliver the following to each holder of a Note:
(A) an executed counterpart of such Subsidiary Guaranty;
(B) all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite legal entity action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guaranty and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder;
(C) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty as the Required Holders may reasonably request; and
(D) evidence of the acceptance by the Company of the appointment of designation, as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s agent to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process, for the period from the date of such Subsidiary Guaranty to February 26, 2027 (and the payment in full of all fees in respect thereof).
(b) At the election of the Company and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor may be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under its Subsidiary Guaranty and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders, provided that (i) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or obligor in respect of any Material Credit Facility or any Existing Note Purchase Agreement, then such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guaranty) under such Material Credit Facility and each such Existing Note Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, (ii) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall be existing, (iii) no amount is then due and payable under such Subsidiary Guaranty, (iv) if in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged under any Material Credit Facility or Existing Note Purchase Agreement, any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Debt under such Material Credit Facility or Existing Note Purchase Agreement for such release, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration on a ratable basis substantially concurrently therewith and (v) each holder shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (iv). In the event of any such release, for purposes of Section 10.1, all Debt of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been incurred concurrently with such release.
For purposes of this Section 9.7, any Subsidiary of the Company who is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America (each, a “Foreign Subsidiary”) shall be deemed not to be a Person that is liable in respect of a Material Credit Facility if such Foreign Subsidiary (i) is a “designated borrower” or an issuer of notes under such Material Credit Facility and (ii) is not obligated for, or does not otherwise guaranty, the obligations under a Material Credit Facility of any Person who is organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof.
Section 1.2. A new Section 9.9 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be added to read as follows:
Section 9.9. Elevated Ratios. If at any time (a) the aggregate principal amount of all (A) Debt of Subsidiaries (other than (1) Debt permitted by Section 10.1(b) and (c) and (2) unsecured Debt of a Subsidiary Guarantor) plus (B) Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary secured by Liens described in Section 10.2(j) exceeds 20% of Consolidated Total Assets and (b) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00 (clause (a) and (b) collectively referred to as an “Elevated Ratio Period”), the Company must deliver to each of the holders of the Notes a written notice from a Senior Financial Officer (a) specifying the quarterly periods during which an Elevated Ratio Period has occurred and (b) confirming that the Elevated Ratio Interest (as defined below) will be payable with respect to such quarterly periods.
During an Elevated Ratio Period, within 30 calendar days of the earlier of (i) delivery of a certificate of Senior Financial Officer (pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Agreement) or (ii) the failure to deliver a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as and when required pursuant to Section 7.2, following each quarterly fiscal period in each fiscal year of the Company, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Note additional interest (the “Elevated Ratio Interest”) comprised of the product of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder (or its predecessor(s) in interest) as of the first day of such quarterly fiscal period, (ii) 0.25% and (iii) 0.25 (to reflect that the Elevated Ratio Interest is payable quarterly).
In determining the Elevated Ratio Interest with respect to any quarterly fiscal period during which any Note is paid in full, the Elevated Ratio Interest for any such Note shall be reduced to an amount equal to such Elevated Ratio Interest multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is equal to 90 minus the number of days (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from such payment in full to the end of the related quarterly fiscal period and (ii) the denominator of which is 90. In the event of a partial prepayment of any Note during a quarterly fiscal period, the Elevated Ratio Interest shall be similarly prorated based on the principal amount of Notes outstanding during the quarterly fiscal period, treating the amount prepaid as having been paid in full.
For the avoidance of doubt, in determining the Elevated Ratio Interest with respect to any period for which the Company failed to deliver a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as and when required pursuant to Section 7.2, an Elevated Ratio Period shall be deemed to have occurred.
The Elevated Ratio Interest shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each holder of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Elevated Ratio Interest will be used in calculating any Make-Whole Amount.
Section 1.3. Section 10.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be and is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 10.1. Debt. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume or incur or in any manner be or become liable for any Debt, except:
(a) the Notes;
(b) Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and reflected on Schedule 5.15;

(i) at the time of incurrence thereof and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis and to the application of the proceeds thereof. (A) no Default or Event of Default exists and (B) no Default would, on a pro forma basis, exist under Section 10.9 if such Debt had been incurred on the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as the case may be; and
(ii) after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis and to the application of the proceeds thereof, in the case of Debt of a Subsidiary, the aggregate principal amount of all (A) Debt of the Subsidiaries (other than (1) Debt permitted by Section 10.1(b) and (c), (2) unsecured Debt of a Subsidiary Guarantor and (3) unsecured Debt of the UK Holdco under the Bank Credit Agreement and the notes issued under the 2017 Note Purchase Agreement to the extent the aggregate obligations of the UK Holdco under the Bank Credit Agreement and the notes issued under the 2017 Note Purchase Agreement do not exceed (a) for the period from July 19, 2017 until July 19, 2018, Euro 450,000,000, (b) for the period from July 19, 2018 until July 19, 2019, Euro 375,000,000, (c) for the period from July 19, 2019 until July 19, 2020, Euro 300,000,000, (d) for the period from July 19, 2020 until July 19, 2021, Euro 200,000,000, (e) for the period from July 19, 2021 until July 19, 2022, Euro 125,000,000, (f) after the July 19, 2022, Euro 0) plus (B) Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary secured by Liens described in Section 10.2(j) does not at any time exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets; and
(iii) after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis and to the application of the proceeds thereof, in the case of Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary secured
by Liens described in Section 10.2(j), the aggregate principal amount of all (A) Debt of the Subsidiaries (other than (1) Debt permitted by Section 10.1(b) and (c), (2) unsecured Debt of a Subsidiary Guarantor (3) unsecured Debt of the UK Holdco under the Bank Credit Agreement and the notes issued under the 2017 Note Purchase Agreement to the extent the aggregate obligations of the UK Holdco under the Bank Credit Agreement and the notes issued under the 2017 Note Purchase Agreement do not exceed (a) for the period from July 19, 2017 until July 19, 2018, Euro 450,000,000, (b) for the period from July 19, 2018 until July 19, 2019, Euro 375,000,000, (c) for the period from July 19, 2019 until July 19, 2020, Euro 300,000,000, (d) for the period from July 19, 2020 until July 19, 2021, Euro 200,000,000, (e) for the period from July 19, 2021 until July 19, 2022, Euro 125,000,000, (f) after the July 19, 2022, Euro 0) plus (B) Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary secured by Liens described in Section 10.2(j) does not at any time exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets.
For all purposes of this Section 10.1, any Person that becomes a Subsidiary after the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to have incurred, at the time it becomes a Subsidiary, all Debt of such Person outstanding immediately after it becomes a Subsidiary.
Section 1.4. Section 10.2(j) of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be and is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
