 TO
EACH OF THE PURCHASERS LISTED IN 
 THE
PURCHASER SCHEDULE HERETO: 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows: 
 SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION
OF NOTES. 
 Section 1.1. Description of Notes. The Company will authorize the
issue and sale of (i) $190,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.27% Senior Notes, Series A, due May 8, 2025 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii) $180,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
4.42% Senior Notes, Series B, due May 8, 2028 (the “Series B Notes”) and (iii) $130,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.52% Senior Notes, Series C, due May 8, 2030 (the
“Series C Notes”, together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit
B-1, Exhibit B-2 and Exhibit B-3, respectively. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in
Exhibit A and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 22.4 shall govern. 

Section 1.2. Additional Interest. (a) If, during an Elevated Compliance Period, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio
of the Company exceeds as of the end of any fiscal quarter (such date, the “Calculation Date”) (i) on or prior to December 28, 2018, 3.25 to 1.00 or (ii) as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending after December 28,
2018, 3.00 to 1.00 (as applicable, the “Elevated Leverage”), as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a), the interest rate payable on each series of Notes shall be increased, as of the
date set forth in this Section 1.2, by 0.75% per annum (the “Incremental Interest”). The Incremental Interest shall become effective on the first Business Day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the Calculation Date in
which the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2 demonstrated Elevated Leverage as of such Calculation Date (provided, however, that if such certificate is not delivered when due, then the Incremental Interest shall apply as of the first
Business Day of the fiscal quarter occurring during an Elevated Compliance Period after the date in which such 









			
	Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.	  	Note Purchase Agreement

  

 
certificate was required to have been due and remain in effect until the date in which such certificate is delivered; provided that, if such certificate shall demonstrate that there was no
Elevated Leverage as of the end of such fiscal quarter for which such certificate has been delivered, the Incremental Interest shall not apply) and shall cease to be effective on the earlier of (i) expiration of such Elevated Compliance Period
and (ii) the first Business Day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the Calculation Date for which a certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 7.2 demonstrating that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of such Calculation Date is
not more than (x) with respect to any date on or prior to December 28, 2018, 3.25 to 1.00 or (y) with respect to any date after December 28, 2018, 3.00 to 1.00. Any Incremental Interest that is due hereunder shall be payable to
each holder of a Note on the same dates that any other interest payment thereunder is due. The Company will provide, or cause the Paying Agent to provide, holders of the Notes calculations demonstrating the amount of Incremental Interest to be paid
for each Note in conjunction with the payment thereof. 
 (b) For avoidance of doubt, no Incremental Interest will be used in calculating any
Make-Whole Amount. Furthermore, payment of any Incremental Interest due is not a waiver of any Default or Event of Default hereunder. 

SECTION 2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF
NOTES. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each
Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 100% of the
principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any
obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.
CLOSING. 
 This Agreement shall be executed and delivered on March 12, 2018. The sale and purchase of
the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603 at 8:00 am Chicago time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on May 8, 2018 or
on such other Business Day thereafter on or prior to May 11, 2018 as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers. At the Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a
single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such
Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company to the accounts designated by the Company in writing (or
designated by the Paying Agent in writing at the direction of the Company) to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof. If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this
Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without
thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure by the Company to tender such Notes or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction.

succeeded to all or any substantial part of the liabilities of any other entity, at any time following the date of the most recent financial statements referred to in Schedule 5.5.

special counsel shall have received all such counterpart originals or certified or other copies of such documents as such Purchaser or such special counsel may reasonably request. 

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE COMPANY. 
 The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser as
of the date of this Agreement and at Closing that: 
 Section 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. The Company
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is 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 or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company (a) has the
corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, (b) to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, (c) to execute and deliver this Agreement and (d) the
Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof, except, in the case of clauses (a) and (b), to the extent it could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 5.2. Authorization, Etc. This Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other 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). 

Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Company, through its agent, Wells Fargo Securities LLC and U.S. Bancorp
Investments, Inc., has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement Memorandum, dated January 9, 2018 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum, as supplemented in writing,
fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum, the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents,
certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company prior to February 9, 2018 in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3 (this Agreement, the Memorandum and such
documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”),

taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which they were made; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company represents that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such information was
prepared. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since September 29, 2017, there has been no event or circumstance, individually or in the aggregate, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains
(except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of (i) the Company’s Material Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Material Subsidiary, the name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, the percentage of shares of each class of its
capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Material Subsidiary and whether such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor as of Closing, and (iii) the Company’s directors and senior officers. 

(b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Material Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being
owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company or another Material Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien that is prohibited

 SECTION 8. PAYMENT
AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES. 

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable
on the Maturity Date thereof. 
 Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments with
Make-Whole Amount. (a) The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, any series of Notes, in an amount not less than
10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the
prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes being so prepaid written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes to be prepaid agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17. Each such notice shall specify such date
(which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the series of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the
interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due
in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of
Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.2 to the contrary, if and so long as any Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2(a) 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 thereof. 
 Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of
each partial prepayment of the Notes of any series pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes of such series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. 
 Section 8.4.
Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together
with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and
payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued,
and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

 Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not
permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes or
(b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions (taking into account differences in the Maturity Date and interest rate of
each series of Notes). Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days. If the holders of more than 10% of
the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number
of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 15 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or
purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount. The term “Make-Whole Amount” means an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called
Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero; provided further that the Make-Whole Amount shall equal zero with respect to the relevant Series of Notes if such prepayment occurs on or after the
date which is thirty (30) days prior to their respective Maturity Dates of such series of Notes. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount with respect to any Note, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“Applicable Percentage” means 0.50% (50 basis points). 

“Called Principal” means the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is
declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 “Discounted Value”
means, with respect to the Called Principal of such Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called
Principal. 
 “Reinvestment Yield” means, the sum of the (x) Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity
implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may
replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury
securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity
equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to 

  
 -20- 










			
	Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.	  	Note Purchase Agreement

  

 
maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly
between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and
greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the
latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the
U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such
implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant
maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect
to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due
date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of
any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided
that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which an interest payment is due to be made under the terms of such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such
Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1. 
 “Settlement
Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 12.1, as the context requires.

 Section 8.7. Change of Control. 

(a) Notice of Change of Control. The Company will no earlier than 30 Business Days prior and no later than five (5) Business Days
after the occurrence of any Change of Control, give written notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) of such Change of Control to each holder of Notes. Such Change of Control Notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay the
Notes as described in Section 8.8(b) hereof and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.8(e). 
 (b)
Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Section 8.8(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.8, all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by each holder (in this

Date”). Such date shall be not fewer than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of delivery of the Change of Control Notice. 

(c) Acceptance. Any holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 by causing a notice of such
acceptance to be delivered to the Company not fewer than 10 days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be deemed to constitute a
rejection of such offer by such holder. 
 (d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.8
shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, but without any Make-Whole Amount or other premium. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed
Prepayment Date. 
 (e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be
accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer and dated the date of delivery of the Change of Control Notice, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.8;
(iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid (which shall be 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each such Note); (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed
Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.8 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of notice have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the general nature and date of the Change of Control. 

Section 8.8. Prepayment in Connection with Asset Sales. If the Company elects, in accordance with
Section 10.2, to offer to prepay the Notes using the proceeds of a Disposition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Company will give written notice thereof to each holder of a Note, which notice shall describe such sale in reasonable
detail and (a) refer specifically to this Section 8.9, (b) specify the pro rata portion of each Note being so offered to be so prepaid (determined based on the unpaid principal amount of each Note in proportion to the aggregate unpaid
principal of all Notes at the time outstanding), (c) specify a date not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such notice (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 such pro rata portion of each Note, together with interest accrued thereon to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date, if any. Each holder of a Note shall notify the Company of
such holder’s acceptance or rejection of such offer by giving written notice thereof to the Company on a date at least 10 Business Days prior to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date (such date 

  
 -22- 










			
	Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.	  	Note Purchase Agreement

  

 
10 Business Days prior to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date being the “Asset Sale Response Date”), and the Company shall prepay on the Asset Sale Prepayment Date such pro rata
portion of each Note held by the holders who have accepted such offer in accordance with this Section 8.9 at a price in respect of each Note held by such holder equal to 100% of the principal amount of such pro rata portion, together with
interest accrued thereon to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date, if any, and in each case without any Make-Whole Amount or other premium; provided, however, that the failure by a holder of any Note to
respond to such offer in writing on or before the Asset Sale Response Date shall be deemed to be a rejection of such offer. 

Section 8.9. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in
this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note
(including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on
such next succeeding Business Day.

 The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding: 

Section 9.1. Compliance with Laws. Without limiting Section 10.4, the Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, comply in all material respects with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are
referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and take all reasonable action to maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or
to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or
maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially
sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles,
co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in
the same or a similar business and similarly situated. 
 Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Company
will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties necessary to the operation of its business in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and
tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Company

need pay any such Tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a
Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such Taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep its corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate
existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the
Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books
of record and account in conformity with GAAP (or the applicable foreign equivalent thereof) and in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be.

directly or indirectly any transaction or group of related transactions (including the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than between the Company and a Subsidiary
or between a Subsidiary and another Subsidiary), except in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company

its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in
Section 6.2. 
 Section 13.3. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent (or the Company if a
Paying Agent has not been designated) at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such
Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be
satisfactory), or 
 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 

within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

 SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

 Section 14.1. Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of the Paying Agent designated by the Company from time to time in writing
(or designated by the Paying Agent in writing at the direction of the Company) in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be
either the principal office of the Company or the Paying Agent in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

 Section 14.2. Payment by Wire Transfer. So long as any Purchaser or
its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company, or the Paying Agent on its behalf, will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule, or by such
other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company or the Paying Agent in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon,
except that upon written request of the Company or the Paying Agent made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after
any such request, to the Paying Agent at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1 (or to the Company if a Paying Agent has not been designated). Prior to any sale
or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note
to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a
Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2. 

Section 14.3. FATCA Information. By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees that such holder
will with reasonable promptness duly complete and deliver to the Company, or to such other Person as may be reasonably requested by the Company including the Paying Agent, from time to time (a) in the case of any such holder that is a United
States Person, such holder’s United States tax identification number or other Forms reasonably requested by the Company or the Paying Agent necessary to establish such holder’s status as a United States Person under FATCA and as may
otherwise be necessary for the Company or the Paying Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from any such payment made to such holder and (b) in the case of any such holder
that is not a United States Person, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation as may be necessary for the Company or the Paying Agent to
comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from any such payment made to such holder. Nothing in
this Section 14.3 shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder unless the Company or the Paying Agent is required to obtain such information under FATCA and, in such event, the Company or
the Paying Agent shall treat any such information it receives as confidential.

respective officers, directors, agents, employees, affiliates, equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive

AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 
 All representations and
warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by
any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the
Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and any Subsidiary Guaranties embody the entire agreement and
understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 

SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

 (b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser
and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment
or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount on any Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required
to consent to any amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20. 

Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes. 

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a
decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty. The Company will
deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or
receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes. 
 (b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay
or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering
into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support

Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate or (iii) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a
tender offer for or merging with the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be
effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect
except solely as to such holder. 
 Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to
as provided in this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to
indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing
between the Company and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or Subsidiary Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.

 Section 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc. Solely for the
purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or
the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding,

Purchaser Schedule, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing, 

(ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the
Company in writing, or 
 (iii) if to the Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the
attention of the Chief Financial Officer, with one copy (which shall on its own not constitute notice) to the Company’s General Counsel and another copy to the Paying Agent, if one has been designated, at the address specified from time to time
in writing by the Company (or the Paying Agent at the direction of the Company), or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing. 

Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received. 

SECTION 19. REPRODUCTION OF
DOCUMENTS. 
 This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including (a) consents, waivers and
modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any
Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such
Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further 

  
 -42- 










			
	Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.	  	Note Purchase Agreement

  

 
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction
to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. 

SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on
behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being
confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently
becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or
(d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures
adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to
hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or
any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such
Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or,
in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be
necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such
Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the
rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this
Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by
such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20. 

  
 -43- 










			
	Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.	  	Note Purchase Agreement

  

 In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company
or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure
website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is inconsistent from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede
any such other confidentiality undertaking. 
 SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION
OF PURCHASER. 
 Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates
or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Paying Agent,
which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy
with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu
of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser,
upon receipt by the Paying Agent (or by the Company if a Paying Agent has not been designated) of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21),
shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights and obligations of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 

SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS. 

Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, the Company may not
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 22.2. Accounting Terms. (a) All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in
this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all
financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to
measure any financial liability using fair value 

  
 -44- 










			
	Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.	  	Note Purchase Agreement

  

 
(as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25
– Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election
had not been made. Without limiting the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the audited financial statements for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change
in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above. 

(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in
this Agreement, and either the Company or the Required Holders shall so request, the holders of Notes and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in
GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Holders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall
provide to the holders of Notes financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving
effect to such change in GAAP. 
 Section 22.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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 hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 22.4. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision
to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision
herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun
shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word
“will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be
construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes
of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 22.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and
assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all
references herein to Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, Exhibits to and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to
such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

 Section 22.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the
parties hereto. 
 Section 22.6. Paying Agent. The Company designates and appoints the Paying Agent to act
as registrar and paying agent on its behalf in connection with the Notes. Any notice, payment or other delivery to be made by the Company in accordance with this Agreement may be made by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Company. The Company may
appoint and change any Paying Agent in its sole discretion; provided that the Company shall provide written notice of such appointment or change to the holders of the Notes. 

Section 22.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the
rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the
application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 
 Section 22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of
Jury Trial. (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim
that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (b) The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.8(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may
be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment. 

(c) The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature
referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, to it at its address
specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of
process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively
presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
